The statue of Arnold Schwarzenegger is an 8-foot-tall (2.4 m), 600 lb (272 kg) bronze sculpture of bodybuilding legend Arnold Schwarzenegger performing his signature 'twisted double biceps pose'. It is installed in Columbus, Ohio, United States and was donated by Robert M. Goldman on behalf of the International Sports Hall of Fame.

## History

[edit]

The statue was originally installed in 2012 outside the Franklin County Veterans Memorial auditorium, the venue of the 1970 Mr. World competition, where the 23 year old Schwarzenegger defeated the reigning world champion Sergio Oliva.[2] In 2014, it was relocated and rededicated outside the Greater Columbus Convention Center, the home of the annual Arnold Sports Festival.[3] Schwarzenegger, Governor John Kasich, and Columbus Mayor Michael B. Coleman attended the ceremony.[4][5][6]
