Iris Kyle
Iris Kyle’s legacy in bodybuilding is nothing short of remarkable, boasting a record-breaking 10 Ms. Olympia victories, more than any other bodybuilder in history. However, her journey to securing these titles is not without controversy. In 2001, a unique scenario unfolded where Kyle competed in one of two weight classes, with an overall winner to be determined from both classes combined.
During that competition, Iris Kyle emerged victorious in the heavyweight class but did not claim the title in the overall Ms. Olympia competition, encompassing both weight classes. This situation has led to confusion and debates among fans and experts alike, as some question whether Kyle’s victory in her weight class should count as an additional Ms. Olympia win. Regardless of the debate, Iris Kyle’s exceptional achievements and impact on women’s bodybuilding are undeniable.
