Latorya Watts won the Figure Olympia in 2015 and 2016 and was runner-up twice more. 2016 was the year she took everything: the Olympia, the Ms. International and the Arnold Classic Australia, in one season.

Known for

Back-to-back Figure Olympia titles in 2015 and 2016, second place in 2017 and again in 2019, and fifth on her first appearance in 2014 and her last in 2020. Six Olympia appearances, four of them in the top two.

2016 is the season that defines the record. She won the Olympia, the Ms. International and the Arnold Classic Australia, then added the Arnold Classic Brasil in 2017. Winning the Olympia and the Arnold's own figure title in the same year is the closest the division has to a sweep.

Early career

Her recorded career starts in 2011. She won the Excalibur in Los Angeles in 2012 and her class at the 2013 USA Championships, which is where the professional card came from.

The Tampa Pro followed in 2014 and the New York Pro in 2015, the same year she won her first Olympia title. She competed for the last time in 2020.

Where these results come from. Each contest in the table was recorded from a named source, and for Latorya Neisha Watts those sources are NPC Contests and MuscleMemory. Open any contest above and that page names its own source and links to it where the source is still reachable. MuscleMemory is the exception: the archive we recorded those older shows from no longer answers at the addresses we hold, so it is credited by name and not offered as a link.

Physique benchmark

How Latorya Neisha Watts measures up

Fat-free mass index turns the height and weight on this profile into one number for how much muscle a frame carries, so a shorter competitor is not flattered by a bodyweight comparison. The normalised figure adjusts it again to a standard height, which is the version worth ranking. Both assume the 6% body fat a competitor steps on stage at, because that is the only condition the recorded weight was taken in.

21.2FFMI
22.0Normalised FFMI
49thOf 147 measured women

The closest Olympia champion on that measure is Whitney Jones, at 22.0, the same figure.

What this rank is not. This database holds a height and a weight for just 463 athletes, and they are overwhelmingly the ones somebody bothered to measure: 74 of them hold an Olympia title. Almost every competitor on record carries no measurement at all. The pool also mixes every division and era together, from the lightweight women's classes to the open heavyweights, so it ranks size and nothing else. It says where Latorya Neisha Watts sits among the athletes we hold measurements for, not among competitors.

Amateur and other shows not counted above

Legacy

Figure has had few competitors hold the top of it for consecutive years, and fewer still win the Olympia and the Ms. International together. Watts did both inside twelve months and then stayed in the top two for another three seasons.

In 14 meetings, Latorya Neisha Watts finished ahead of Cydney Gillon 10 times to 4.

Opponents are ranked by how often they shared a stage and how big the stage was, not by reputation. A meeting is one contest where both competed in the same division and both were placed.

Sources

Competition placings on this page come from our own contest database and cover her record from 2011 to 2020.

She competes under Latorya Watts and is recorded here under her full name, Latorya Neisha Watts, which is how it reaches our database from the source results.

Win rate here is first-place finishes as a share of all 21 professional contest results. It is published only where a career holds at least five, because below that a single placing moves the figure by twenty points or more.
