Wheelchair Bodybuilding: “It’s About Giving Hope, Inspiration And Motivation”

WHEELCHAIR bodybuilders have spoken of their joy at finally competing on the stage made famous by Arnold Schwarzenegger. Ten muscular men rolled into Columbus, Ohio, to flex their pecs at the 2016 Arnold Classic Pro Wheelchair in March. The prestigious competition was the culmination of years of hard work by organiser and former champion bodybuilder Nick Scott. The inaugural event was won by sport legend Harold Kelley, 44, who had won the seven out of eight of the previous events. Organisers now hope to take the burgeoning sport, which gives hope to dozens of paralysed athletes around the world, to the Olympia stage in Las Vegas.
