Andrea Shaw Wins Her 7th Title! Ms. Olympia 2026

Since its triumphant return in 2020 under the leadership of Olympia owner Jake Wood, the Ms. Olympia division is once again at the very top. This category, which is the only one (along with the Men’s Open) to have no weight or height limits, boasts a rich history and a lineup of dominant champions. A shining example is ten-time gold medalist Iris Kyle or eight-time champion Lenda Murray. And this year, Andrea Shaw has once again taken giant strides toward joining these immortal icons.

A Battle Without Yeo, but With Fierce Challengers

Although Angela Yeo was surprisingly absent from the stage this year, the field was still packed with formidable threats. Ashley Lynnette Jones put the most pressure on the reigning champion. She delivered another fantastic presentation, in which she managed to balance the proportions of her legs to her upper body even better, giving her the illusion of much more massive volume on stage.

Leyvina Rodrigues Barros dazzled both the judges and the audience with her incredible conditioning. She fought for a medal spot like a lioness and, in the final round, nailed her poses time and again with tremendous intensity—being the very first among the entire elite group to do so—thereby demonstrating absolute self-confidence.

A Flawless Champion and the Final Showdown

Andrea Shaw, however, left no one in any doubt as to why she has reigned supreme in this sport for so long. Her deeply striated quadriceps and brutally defined biceps kept her securely in the clear center of the stage throughout. After an exhausting and high-energy final pose-off, the decision was made—Andrea Shaw fended off all challengers, took home $50,000, and celebrated her 7th title in a row! Thanks to her outstanding performance, Ashley Lynnette Jones took home the silver, while the bronze went to Leyvin Rodrigues Barros this year.
