The 25th Annual Arnold Sports Expo has come and gone. During the 4 day event, over 175,000 people got together to see over 18,000 athletes compete in 45 sports and events at the Columbus Convention Center, Vets Memorial, and other local Columbus venues. Over 700 booths (the largest in the United States, according to the media guide) to featuring the latest in sports equipment, apparel, and nutrition were available for the public to see. The expo is a good opportunity for active people attending the event who enjoy sports and exercise to see the latest in sports apparel and clothing from the biggest brands in the game. Nike is of course a giant in the industry and is frequently listed as the most valuable sports brand in the world. Those looking to buy some new items of clothing may want to see the availability of Nike products online and find out whether or not they can use discounts or promo codes in conjunction with their purchase to make a saving.
