Urs Kalecinski was hospitalized 5 days before the Arnold Classic, but still raced and came second!

During the past weekend, another edition of the prestigious Arnold Classic bodybuilding competition took place, where the third man of last year's Classic Physique Olympia - Urs Kalecinski - competed . He decided to try to beat Ramon Queiroz, who had just beaten him at last year's Olympia, at this spectacular competition.

"Honestly, this is the biggest mission for me (to beat Ramon Rocha Queiroz). In my opinion, Chris Bumstead looked great this year, so he was clearly the number one. So I wish I could compare myself to Ramon.

However, Kalecinski didn't get that and came in second behind Queiroz.

Many of you must have thought that Urs had failed in his goal. But everything changes when you find out the information that Kalecinski made public after the race. It's that just a few days before the race, the racer had to go to hospital because of food poisoning. Despite this, he was able to recover from the poisoning and start the Arnold.

Strength is not just about working out your muscles, but also about the willpower that keeps you going. Even though I was in the hospital just 5 days before the competition due to the food poisoning I got, I never lost sight of my goals.

Let this be a reminder to all young bodybuilders: no matter what obstacles come your way, you have the strength to overcome them and achieve something great. Believe in yourself and never give up on your dreams until you reach your goals or your aesthetic peak.
