Arnold Sports Festival 2026 Returns to Columbus

A longtime Columbus tradition and the largest event of its kind in the country is back this week.

The 38th annual Arnold Sports Festival begins Thursday and runs through Sunday at the Greater Columbus Convention Center, the Ohio Expo Center, and several other central Ohio locations.

The four-day festival features elite bodybuilding, strongman competitions, fitness expos, and a new addition in 2026 competitive pickleball.

Tickets and Key Events

Most competitions inside the convention center are included with a Daily Expo Ticket. Three-day passes and Fast Pass options are also available online.

Separate tickets are required for select headline events, including:

  • Arnold Strongman Classic and Arnold Strongwoman Classic
  • Friday and Saturday Night Finals
  • NPC Worldwide Arnold Amateur Championships
  • IFBB Pro League Meet & Greet
  • Arnold Sunday Showcase featuring Arnold Schwarzenegger

Parking is available at the Ohio Expo Center for $12, with free shuttle service running between venues throughout the weekend.

What to See at the Arnold Expo

The Arnold Expo will host more than 800 booths representing roughly 300 companies. Attendees can explore the latest in sports gear, apparel, supplements, and nutrition trends, while meeting athletes and industry experts.

Fan-favorite attractions such as the Animal Cage and the Stack3d Pavilion will return, showcasing strength demonstrations and emerging brands in fitness and nutrition.

Headlining Competitions

The Arnold Classic will headline Saturday night’s finals. Defending champion Hadi Choopan leads the field, alongside former winners Brandon Curry and Nick Walker.

In the strongman division, Mitchell Hooper aims for a fourth consecutive title at the Arnold Strongman Classic. Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson, widely known for his role in Game of Thrones, is also set to compete.

The Arnold Strongwoman Classic will feature 11 top athletes, including reigning champion Angelica Jardine and former titleholder Olga Liaschuck.

What’s New in 2026

Pickleball will debut at the festival this year with the Arnold Pickleball Invitational, held at Match Point in Columbus. The event will feature round-robin competition followed by playoff rounds across age divisions.

A Look Back

The Arnold Classic was co-founded in 1989 by Schwarzenegger and Jim Lorimer as a one-day bodybuilding competition. It has since grown into the nation’s largest multi-sport fitness festival, drawing athletes and fans from around the world.

Lorimer, who played a key role in expanding the event, died in 2022 at age 96. Today, the festival continues to generate significant economic impact for Columbus while showcasing elite strength and physique sports.

Iranian Drone Strike Kills Six U.S. Soldiers in Kuwait

Six U.S. soldiers were killed Sunday in an Iranian drone strike at a civilian port facility in Kuwait, according to reports from The Associated Press and U.S. officials.

The troops had recently relocated from Camp Arifjan to Port Shuaiba, roughly 10 miles away, amid concerns the Army base could be targeted in incoming attacks from Tehran. Family members said the soldiers believed dispersing into smaller groups would offer greater safety.

The U.S. Army has publicly identified four of the six service members killed: Sgt. 1st Class Nicole Amor; Capt. Cody Khork of Florida; Sgt. 1st Class Noah Tietjens of Nebraska; and Sgt. Declan Coady of Iowa. The names of the remaining two soldiers have not yet been released.

Sgt. Declan Coady, 20, had been recommended for promotion and was posthumously elevated to sergeant. According to family members, he studied cybersecurity at Drake University while serving overseas and was training as an information technology specialist in the Army Reserve.

President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth warned that additional American casualties could occur as military operations continue.

Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell said the soldiers were located at a secured facility reinforced with protective barriers. He added that the Department of Defense has strengthened defensive measures across the region.

The strike comes amid heightened tensions between the United States and Iran as military operations expand across multiple fronts.

The conflict involving Iran, Israel and the United States escalated Tuesday as U.S. and Israeli forces carried out a new round of airstrikes targeting sites in Tehran.

Israel issued evacuation warnings in Persian for civilians near the Hakimiya Industrial Zone in Tehran and around Payam Airport in Karaj, stating the areas were being targeted for military operations. The warning followed overnight strikes that Israeli officials said damaged key government and security facilities in the Iranian capital.

President Donald Trump warned that further action could be imminent, saying “the big wave hasn’t even happened.”

Ohio Mayor Resigns Amid Voyeurism and Vehicular Assault Charges

Wesley Dingus, mayor of the Village of Butler in Richland County, Ohio, has resigned amid allegations of voyeurism and pending charges in a separate vehicular assault case.

The allegations of voyeurism involve a teenager who reportedly captured video of Dingus handling and smelling her personal items in January. Following the complaint, Dingus was charged with two counts of voyeurism, pleaded not guilty, and was released on a $10,000 bond. His next court appearance is scheduled for April 9.

In a separate incident last July, Dingus allegedly struck a pedestrian with his vehicle. He faces charges including aggravated assault, vehicular assault, falsification, and dereliction of duty. He pleaded not guilty and was released on a $25,000 bond, awaiting further court proceedings.

Dingus submitted a handwritten resignation letter stating he was resigning “under duress” and effective immediately. He began serving as mayor in 2022 and was reelected in 2023.

Rich Thran, the Village of Butler council president, will serve as interim mayor through the end of the term in December 2027. The village has declined further comment due to the ongoing investigations.

Iranian forces launch missiles targeting Israel, Gulf Arab nations, and U.S. military sites

Iranian forces and allied groups launched missiles targeting Israel, Gulf Arab nations, and U.S. military bases on Monday, while U.S. and Israeli forces conducted airstrikes across Iran. The attacks follow the killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, further escalating the conflict.

Kuwait accidentally shot down three U.S. F-15E warplanes during the attacks, though all pilots ejected safely. Casualties from the strikes include at least 555 deaths in Iran, 11 in Israel, and dozens in Lebanon, the UAE, Kuwait, and Bahrain.

The conflict has disrupted regional air travel and global energy markets. Saudi Arabia’s Ras Tanura oil refinery and Qatar’s LNG production were targeted, while Iran continues missile attacks across the region.

Torbjorn Soltvedt, risk analyst at Verisk Maplecroft, said, “The attack on Gulf energy infrastructure marks a major escalation, with uncertainty ahead for regional stability and global markets.”

Ohio Lawmakers React to U.S., Israeli Strikes on Iran

Ohio political leaders are weighing in after the United States and Israel launched joint military strikes on Iran over the weekend.

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei is dead

President Donald Trump posted an eight-minute video on Truth Social addressing the military action. In the video, he accused Iran of continuing to advance its nuclear program and developing missile capabilities that could threaten the United States. He also urged the Iranian people to “take over” their government.

Iran responded by launching missiles and drones toward Israel and U.S. military bases in the region, escalating tensions across the Middle East.

Ohio Leaders Voice Support

Several Ohio lawmakers shared their reactions on social media following the strikes.

U.S. Sen. Bernie Moreno expressed support for the president’s decision.

“God bless and protect our troops,” Moreno wrote. “President Trump sought for months to avoid conflict and negotiate with Iran to prevent them from rebuilding their nuclear program. I fully support his decision to eliminate the threat once and for all once it became clear there was no other option.”

Moreno added that he trusts the president to act in America’s best interest and to work toward peace in the region.

Frank LaRose also responded publicly following the strikes, joining other state and federal leaders in commenting on the rapidly developing situation.

Other lawmakers said Iran’s leadership has long posed a threat to stability in the Middle East and to U.S. national security. Several officials also offered prayers for American service members deployed overseas.

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei is dead

President Donald Trump said Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is dead following joint U.S. and Israeli airstrikes. Iran vowed retaliation.

 Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei is dead

The United States and Israel launched a large-scale military attack on Iran Saturday, escalating tensions across the Middle East.

President Donald Trump said on social media that Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, is dead following the coordinated strikes. Trump described the moment as a major turning point and urged the Iranian public to “seize control of your destiny.”

Iran had not immediately issued an official statement confirming Khamenei’s status at the time of the announcement.

Strikes Target Leadership Areas in Tehran

Initial strikes appeared to hit areas near government and military sites in Tehran, including locations associated with Iran’s leadership. Smoke was seen rising from parts of the capital, and Iranian state media reported explosions in multiple cities.

It was not immediately clear whether Khamenei, 86, was present at the targeted sites when the bombardment occurred.

Trump said the strikes were carried out using advanced intelligence and tracking systems in coordination with Israel. He added that additional senior Iranian leaders were also killed.

“The heavy and pinpoint bombing will continue uninterrupted throughout the week or as long as necessary,” Trump said, describing the operation as aimed at achieving stability in the region.

Iran Launches Retaliatory Attacks

Before the announcement of Khamenei’s death, Iran launched missiles and drones toward Israel and U.S. military installations in the region in response to the strikes.

Air defense systems were activated across parts of Israel, and regional bases housing American forces reported incoming threats.

Ali Larijani, secretary of Iran’s National Security Council, warned that Israel and the United States would “regret their actions,” promising a strong response from Iran’s military.

The reported death of Iran’s supreme leader marks one of the most significant developments in the country since the 1979 Islamic Revolution. Analysts say the situation could reshape leadership dynamics within Iran and further impact regional stability.

Military and diplomatic observers are closely monitoring whether additional strikes or broader conflict will follow in the coming days.

U.S., Israel Launch Major Strikes on Iran

The United States and Israel launched coordinated military strikes against Iran, marking a major escalation in tensions across the Middle East.

President Donald Trump said the U.S. had begun “major combat operations,” describing the strikes as necessary to eliminate what he called imminent threats and prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.

Earlier, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz announced Israel carried out what he described as a “pre-emptive attack” targeting Iranian military and strategic infrastructure.

Explosions Reported Across Iran

Iranian media reported explosions in Tehran shortly after 9:30 a.m. local time, with smoke seen rising near central areas of the capital. Blasts were also reported in other cities, including Karaj, Isfahan, Qom and Kermanshah.

Footage circulating online showed people running near damaged areas, though casualty figures have not been independently verified.

Iranian officials said key government sites were targeted, including areas near the compound of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. Iran’s foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, called the strikes “unprovoked” and “illegal,” but said the supreme leader was alive.

Iranian state television reported President Masoud Pezeshkian was safe.

An Israeli military official said a “broad wave” of strikes targeted missile launchers, air defense systems and gatherings of senior officials.

Iran has closed its airspace until further notice.
