Day one of the Arnold Sports Festival in Columbus, Ohio and it's a bit like a twelve-ring circus. All at once there is fencing, Olympic weightlifting, powerlifting, strongman, CrossFit, gymnastics, and more going on! Not to mention the Expo floor with 1,500+ booths.
Here's a tiny taste of the event - many more pictures to come over the weekend!
