Mamdouh “Big Ramy” Elssbiay, the defending champion, weighed 305 pounds before the competition (wearing a full suit and shoes). Brandon Curry, the 2019 Mr. Olympia, and Nick Walker, the 2021 Arnold Classic Champion, are among the competitors he will face. Hadi Choopan, a former People’s Champion, is also present. Elssbiay’s path to a second title will not be easy, but he appears to be confident in his ability to do so.

From the first moments of each round, the crowd was enthralled. The crowd was immediately energised by Walke’s enthusiasm. William Bonac, a two-time Arnold Classic winner, received more applause.

Curry received a standing ovation when he was introduced. Mr. Olympia 15, with improved legs, very large arms, and a tight — very tight — waist, took the stage. Everyone was waiting for “winter to come” with the arrival of the defending champion after Curry finished his routine.

Elssbiay, sporting a goatee, strutted to centre stage, and every eye in the building was fixed on him. As Mr. Olympia performed the mandates, fans moved closer to the front to get photos of him. The music’s bass shook the room, perfectly timed with each shot he fired.

The excitement peaked with the first callouts of pre-judging after the introductions and numerical callouts. Throughout the room, competing chants of “Ramy,” “Curry,” and “Walker” echoed. Walker, Choopan, Hunter Labrada, and Bonac joined the last two champions in the centre of the first callout.

The second group included Akim Williams, Mohamed Shaaban, Iain Valliere, Roelly Winklaar, Justin Rodriguez, and James Hollingshead. The judges would move them around quite a bit.

The fifth and sixth callouts were arguably the most intriguing. Everyone from callout one (plus Rodriguez and Valliere) lined up for callout number five, with the exception of Curry and Big Ramy. Head IFBB Pro League judge Steve Weinberger had the 15th and 16th Mr. Os run back their mandatory poses after the fifth callout. It’s safe to assume they’re competing for first place. During the broadcast, however, commentator and legendary bodybuilder Shawn Ray stated that Hadi Choopan brought an incredible package to the competition.

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.

2. Helle Trevino – $20,000
3. Margie Martin – $10,000
4. Mona Poursaleh – $5,000
5. Irene Anderson – $4000

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.
