“Urs Is Back”: Classic Physique Icon Urs Kalecinski Impresses Fans With Ripped Look at Arnold Classic UK

“Urs is back,” declared fans as they witnessed classic physique icon Urs Kalecinski make a striking return at the 2024 Arnold Classic UK. Held at the NEC in Birmingham, England, the event drew some of the finest bodybuilding talents aiming to secure a spot at the prestigious 2024 Mr. Olympia.

The anticipation was high, with competitors showcasing their best forms just two weeks after the Arnold Classic in Ohio. Among them, Kalecinski stood out, displaying a notably fuller and improved physique. However, he faced tough competition, particularly from the likes of Wesley Vissers and Breon Ansley.

Arnold Sports UK in a joint Instagram post shared a glimpse of the posing routines of the Classic Physique division during the final callout which had Kalecinski among the top.

However, the results spoke volumes about the major competition unfolding in the division. Wesley Vissers claimed the top spot, with Breon Ansley following closely behind. That being said, Kalecinski stole hearts and headlines with his impressive third-place finish, despite the odds not being entirely in his favor. Michael Daboul and Emanuele Ricotti claimed the fourth and fifth positions, respectively, with Denis Romanov rounding off the top six.

Despite not securing the coveted first place, Kalecinski’s remarkable transformation in just two weeks garnered widespread admiration. Fans and the bodybuilding community rallied behind him, acknowledging his dedication and gains.

Fans stunned by Kalecinski’s progress in just 2 weeks

Commenting on the competition, one enthusiast remarked, “Kalecinski looks much fuller and improved, but Breon looks incredible too; I think Wesley looks a little softer compared to Ohio but still incredible. It will be a very good battle.” Fans highlighted Kalecinski’s return and praised his impressive leg development, “Urs is back.. best legs in show.” According to fans, he appears exceptionally impressive and deserving of a center placement, one such comment read, “Bro why don’t put Urs in the middle he looks insane.”

Fans noticed that his physique stood out compared to others, penning comments like “Urs stands out from that lineup in this one shot for sure,” and “Can’t understand how Urs is not Center Stage here. We can talk about if he beats Wes but Breon for sure..”

Some had even expected that Kalecinski would win because his physique was perceived to be more aesthetically pleasing, “Urs win Wesley have a square waist,” a bodybuilding enthusiast wrote.
