History
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]
