Ms. Olympia 2021 Winner List: Andrea Shaw repeats as the Ms. Olympia winner in 2021.
Andrea Shaw is crowned Ms. Olympia in 2021. She was awarded $50,000 in prize money as well as the prestige of being the best female bodybuilder in the world once again. The competition took place at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida on Friday, October 8, 2021, during Olympia weekend.
The three best in the division, including 2020 Ms. Olympia champion Andrea Shaw, 2020 runner-up Margie Martin, and Helle Trevino (third last year), would be in the final callouts (Top 4) along with top contender Mona Poursaleh, as expected at the Women’s Bodybuilding pre-judging earlier today. That’s the definition of stacked!
But it would be Shaw, 37, who would emerge victorious over the rest, despite Trevino’s strong performance and Margie’s close second.
This year’s competition featured the best athletes from around the world, resulting in plenty of excitement, fierce rivalries, and, of course, record prize money.

Andrea Shaw Career and Competition
Andrew Shaw, a young and overweight adolescent, began working out at the gym after being persuaded by her mother. Taking training advice from her mother’s bodybuilding friend, she had no intention of competing because she wanted to pursue a modelling career. She did not, however, meet the height requirements.
However, like many others who are motivated to get serious about their fitness, the Detroit, Michigan native came across an Oxygen Magazine that featured impressive physiques.
What the future champion didn’t realise, however, was that she possessed superior bodybuilding genetics. Her ambitions, on the other hand, were to resemble those of a Figure competitor who aren’t quite as muscly.
Andrea moved to Physique after competing in Figure and not liking it, earning Pro status, but it was clear she was better suited for Women’s Bodybuilding.
She switched to bodybuilding after receiving advice from legends such as Lenda Murray, a multiple-time Ms. Olympia, and Margaret Marvelous (Margie Martin), and what a fantastic journey she’s had.
Andrea has won five competitions in the last five years, including the IFBB Omaha Pro in 2020, IFBB Rising Phoenix (2020 and 2021), and, of course, the IFBB Ms. Olympia in 2020 and 2021.
Division Details
Last year, when Women’s Bodybuilding was reintroduced at the Olympia, it was one of the most eagerly anticipated events, with fans and organisers eager to see the world’s biggest and most muscular female competitors take the stage.
Iris Kyle, a ten-time Ms. Olympia champion (most wins at the Olympia for men or women), was set to return in 2020 after her last win in 2014 and before the Olympia’s discontinuation of this competition.
However, due to health issues, she would have to withdraw from the show and would not compete in 2021.
Even without the legendary bodybuilder, there were plenty of elite physiques to compete for the top three spots, with Andrea Shaw, Margie Martin, and Helle Trevino vying for the top three spots.
Shaw won her first Ms. Olympia title, with Martin coming in second and Trevino coming in third. We didn’t expect much to change this time around in terms of who would finish near the top.
That’s a Wrap!
Andrea Shaw, the 2021 Ms. Olympia winner, deserves congratulations.
It takes a lot of courage to come out on top against such a tough field of competitors. The Ms. Olympia competition this year was stacked, but it delivered.
It’s also important to thank all of the competitors who came out and gave it their all in this division.
