For a long time, the fitness community was believed to be only a male-centered industry. Women were subjected to being outcasts if they tried to take part in the world of bodybuilding or weightlifting. Yet Ms Olympia was not too far behind Mr. Olympia. While the latter started in 1965, Ms Olympia appeared a decade and a half later in 1980. Although they didn’t receive as much appreciation and acceptance in their early days, at present they are considered one of the most prestigious female bodybuilding titles. Sarah Villegas is the current title holder of Ms. Olympia and her fans cannot agree more with the judges.
