Nick Walker and Andrea Shaw Win 2026 Mr. and Ms. Olympia Titles

Nick Walker captured his first Mr. Olympia title and the People’s Champion award, while Andrea Shaw secured her seventh consecutive Ms. Olympia victory during the 62nd edition of the competition in Las Vegas, running from September 24 to 27, 2026.

Walker rebounded from a sixth-place finish the previous year to claim the top prize of $600,000 in the Men’s Open division. Samson Dauda finished in second place to earn $200,000, while defending champion Derek Lunsford dropped to third place, taking home $100,000. Andrew Jacked and Tonio Burton completed the top five, securing $40,000 and $30,000 respectively.

In the Ms. Olympia competition on September 25, 2026, Shaw continued her undefeated streak since the division returned in 2020. Her seventh title surpassed Cory Everson’s six championships, moving Shaw into sole possession of third place on the all-time list behind Iris Kyle’s 10 titles and Lenda Murray’s eight.

Shaw earned $50,000 for the victory, while Ashley Lynnette Jones finished as runner-up for the second straight year to take $20,000. Leyvina Rodrigues Barros claimed third place and $12,000.

The 2026 event featured several title changes alongside historic defenses. Keone Pearson secured his fourth consecutive 212 Olympia victory, and Ryan Terry claimed his fourth straight Men’s Physique title to match Jeremy Buendia’s division record. Meanwhile, five defending champions lost their crowns across the 12 IFBB Pro League divisions, including Lunsford, Ramon Dino, Rhea Gayle, Maureen Blanquisco, and James Berger. Six athletes achieved their first-ever Olympia titles, highlighted by Shealynn Burnett becoming the inaugural Fit Model champion.
