The Bikini Olympia: A Look Back at Every Winner Over the Contest's History

The 2011 Bikini Olympia was met with great excitement in Las Vegas, NV, marking a year of growth and a strong fanbase supporting the division. The inaugural event saw Nathalia Melo, Jamie Baird, and Amanda Latona among the favorites to win, with Sonia Gonzalez becoming an infamous figure due to her Jeopardy answer 'who is' – a reference that has yet to be answered.

Over the years, nine women have stood on stage as champions of the Bikini Olympia, with only two winners having taken home the title more than once. Fast-forward to 2021, and the division continues to thrive, with 35 women competing at the Orlando Convention Center – the largest number in any single division.

The introduction of the Bikini Division in 2010 aimed to broaden the competitive pool and create a broader range of physiques among women's competitors. Prior to this, athletes had only three divisions to compete in: Bodybuilding, Figure, and Fitness. Today, it's hard to imagine Olympia weekend without the now-infamous Bikini Division, which rewards beauty, poise, and intense muscular conditioning in women.

The Bikini Olympia has come a long way since its inception, with each year bringing new talent and excitement to the stage. As we look back on every winner over the contest's history, it's clear that this division is here to stay and will continue to captivate audiences for years to come.
