Andrea Shaw has won another Ms. Olympia contest. The 2020s can be known as the Andrea Shaw era of women's bodybuilding. Next year, she could possibly match Lenda Murray's record. All of the competition was formidable and it becomes difficult to predict outcomes. Angela Yeo did not compete this year, but that did not make the contest easier. Ashely Jones came in second place and Leyina Barros was third. All the athletes on stage presented impressive physiques. Women's bodybuilding is not suffering a lack of talent, rather limited promotion. Efforts need to be made to make the Ms. Olympia more visible in media. Then there is a problem with prize money. Andrea Shaw was awarded $50,000. A winner of the contest should see higher amounts of prize money. The 212 Mr. Olympia has the same amount. There is no reason that every year is an increase in prize money for athletes. Andrea has won more Ms. Olympia contests that the male competitors. As the years pass, Andrea could go on to beat the Iris Kyle record. Andrea doing this would make her one of the best bodybuilders to ever compete. Despite concerns about pay and institutional challenges in the IFBB, fans should celebrate. They are witnessing a new golden age of the sport. Andrea Shaw must do more than win contests. Being a representative to women's bodybuilding can help improve its public image.
