Rhein earned her Pro Card in 2017 and did not hesitate to make her debut. She would hit the stage just one month later at the Orlando Pro, where she finished fourth. This would set the tone for her career moving forward.

Rhein earned the first victory of her career during the 2020 Tampa Pro. She would go onto place fifth at the Olympia that year. This would be the first of two top-five finishes on the biggest stage in the sport.

Ivie Rhein’s Competition History

The 2023 Masters Olympia made a return last year and many competitors flocked to the event. Ivie Rhein was among the list and made an immediate impression. She was victorious in the Women’s Physique division and earned a spot in the 2023 Olympia. She would finish sixth at the event, which would wind up being the final appearance of her career.

“I achieved much more than I ever imagined, and in such a short period of time. I traveled, met places and people around the world, and was lucky enough to make some friends. I only have incredible memories and I am very proud of my journey.”
