Andrea Shaw enjoys her role as the reigning Ms. Olympia, but she has her sights on being among the best of all time in the sport by racking up more of those titles.
That journey continued for Shaw at the 2022 Olympia weekend in Las Vegas, NV. Coming off a third straight Rising Phoenix championship, Shaw looked to three-peat again. via a third straight Ms. Olympia title against 20 contenders hoping to add their names to the prestigious list of Ms. Olympia winners.
Aside from Shaw’s title defense, the contest took on a more significant meaning after former Rising Phoenix winner Margie Martin announced this was her last contest. After the athletes took their 45-second turns walking onstage, the showdown began.
