The Arnold Schwarzenegger Sports Festival is already a star studded event, if the namesake of the festival is not a hint enough. Around 200,000 people are expected to flock to Columbus Ohio this year with 18,000 athletes competing at the event taking place February 27th through March 2nd. TheArnoldFans staff will be here once again. Will you join us?

One of the activities taking place during the Sports Festival will be the International Sports Hall of Fame and Jason Statham (“The Transporter”, “Expendables”) among others will be inducted! The reason for Jason's induction is that he was a world class diver with the British National Diving Team, and much like Arnold, was discovered for acting while training at a fitness center. 

Dr. Goldman founded the International Sports Hall of Fame (www.SportsHOF.org), recognizing the world’s greatest sports legends, with ceremonies held annually at the Arnold Sports Festival.

The International Sports Hall of Fame is a Non Profit foundation established to honor the world's greatest athlete legends in all sports. This is a global organization that believes recognition of these remarkable sports people should endure and be recognized long after their careers have ended. Just as important is what Hall of Fame candidates do later in life, in giving back to others and society, with charity work, and mentoring young people. The induction ceremonies will be held annually every March at the Arnold Schwarzenegger Sports Festival, which is the world's largest annual sports weekend, hosting 175,000 attendees and over 18,000 competing athletes.
