Rafael Brandao dominates the Arnold Classic Brazil 2022!

Another show from the Arnold Classic series moved to South America, where the world's top bodybuilders showed up again on April 30 in Sao Paulo, Brazil. The biggest favourite in the open division was clearly the local competitor Rafael Brandao, who was determined to show his best in front of his spectators. Although Rafael dominated this season's Romania Muscle Fest Pro and qualified for Mr. Olympia, it's clear that he wanted to race in front of his fans, friends and family, which is why he decided to compete in Sao Paulo last weekend.

Despite the fact that Rafael Brandao was a big favourite, nothing was so clear-cut during the race and it was only in the final that the winner was decided. The trio of Rafael - Vitor - Thiago fought a great battle. In the end, it was the Brazilian Rafael Brandao who took the trophy for first place!
