Andrea Shaw Wins Seventh Consecutive Ms. Olympia Title
Andrea Shaw once again stood at the top of the women’s bodybuilding division, extending one of the most dominant championship runs in modern Olympia history.
Shaw first captured the Ms. Olympia title when the division returned to the Olympia weekend in 2020. She successfully defended the championship every year since, entering the 2026 contest with six consecutive victories already on her resume.
She added another championship to that record Friday night, defeating a deep field of established Olympia competitors to become a seven-time Ms. Olympia champion.
The victory also carries historical significance beyond Shaw’s current run. With seven Ms. Olympia titles, Shaw has now surpassed Cory Everson’s six championships and moved into third place on the all-time list.
Only Iris Kyle, with 10 Ms. Olympia victories, and Lenda Murray, with eight, have won the prestigious women’s bodybuilding title more times than Shaw.
Andrea Shaw Moves Into Third on the All-Time Ms. Olympia Wins List
Shaw’s latest victory puts her in elite company alongside the athletes who have defined women’s bodybuilding across multiple generations.
Kyle holds the all-time record with 10 Ms. Olympia championships, while Murray follows with eight. Everson previously occupied third place with six titles, but Shaw has now moved ahead of the six-time champion.
The accomplishment is particularly notable because Shaw has accumulated all seven of her Olympia victories consecutively since 2020.
Her current championship streak includes victories across seven consecutive Olympia contests, giving Shaw an uninterrupted run at the top of the division since the Ms. Olympia returned.

Ashley Lynnette Jones Finishes Second at the 2026 Ms. Olympia
Ashley Lynnette Jones once again finished directly behind Shaw, earning second place at the 2026 Ms. Olympia.
Jones entered the contest looking to challenge the reigning champion after finishing runner-up at the previous year’s Olympia. She ultimately secured the same position in 2026, earning her another second-place finish and $20,000 in prize money.
The result makes Jones one of the athletes who has come closest to ending Shaw’s ongoing championship run, but Shaw once again held onto the title when the final comparisons were completed.
Leyvina Rodrigues Barros Claims Third Place
Leyvina Rodrigues Barros climbed onto the Olympia podium with a third-place finish in 2026.
Barros’ performance placed her behind Shaw and Jones while moving her into the top three of the world’s biggest women’s bodybuilding competition.
The Brazilian competitor’s third-place finish earned her $12,000 and gave her a place alongside two of the division’s biggest names on the final Olympia podium.
Paula Ranta Finishes Fourth at the 2026 Ms. Olympia
Paula Ranta secured fourth place at the 2026 Ms. Olympia, narrowly missing the podium but finishing ahead of the rest of the field.
Ranta earned $7,000 for her fourth-place performance and completed the group of competitors immediately behind Shaw, Jones, and Barros.
Her finish also placed her ahead of Meghan Morrison, who rounded out the top five.
Meghan Morrison Rounds Out the Ms. Olympia Top Five
Meghan Morrison finished fifth overall to complete the top five at the 2026 Ms. Olympia.
Morrison earned $6,000 for her performance, finishing behind Ranta and ahead of the remainder of the field.
The top-five lineup showcased a combination of established Olympia competitors and athletes continuing to rise through the women’s bodybuilding rankings, but none could displace Shaw from the top position.
2026 Ms. Olympia Top 10
While Shaw dominated the top of the standings, the remainder of the top 10 featured a deep field of women’s bodybuilding talent.
Alida Opre finished sixth, followed by Desunka Dawson in seventh. Nadia Capotosto secured eighth place, while Barbara De Freitas Moojen finished ninth. Martina Lopez rounded out the top 10 in tenth place.
Andrea Shaw Continues Her Historic Ms. Olympia Reign
The 2026 Ms. Olympia ultimately produced another chapter in Shaw’s historic championship run.
Since the return of the Ms. Olympia in 2020, Shaw has won every edition of the contest. Her seventh consecutive victory now places her ahead of Cory Everson and leaves her with only Murray and Kyle above her on the all-time championship list.
With seven Ms. Olympia titles and seven consecutive victories, Shaw has further strengthened her position as one of the most successful champions in the history of women’s bodybuilding.
