1x Fitness Olympia, 1998
Monica Brant
Monica Brant won the Fitness Olympia in 1998 and was runner-up or third at five more Olympias in figure. She has appeared on more than a hundred magazine covers.
Known for
The 1998 Fitness Olympia title came in her first recorded season. She then moved to figure and was second in 2003 and third in 2004, 2005 and 2006, without winning it again.
The Ms. International was the contest that got away: runner-up in 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006, four times in four years.
She won the World Championships professional figure title in 2010 and again in 2013, fifteen years after her Olympia.
Early career
Her first Muscle & Fitness cover was in November 1994, four years before her Olympia title, and the modelling career ran alongside the competitive one throughout.
Nineteen contests are recorded between 1998 and 2013.

Every professional contest result on record for Monica Brant, 16 in all. The table opens on the first 15 and expands in place from there. Nothing sits on a separate page. Won by names the winner of the division Monica Brant competed in, and shows a dash where that winner cannot be pinned to one person in the database.

Physique benchmark
How Monica Brant 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.
21.0FFMI
22.1Normalised FFMI
43rdOf 147 measured women
The closest Olympia champion on that measure is Cydney Gillon, at 22.1, 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 Monica Brant sits among the athletes we hold measurements for, not among competitors.
Amateur and other shows not counted above
3 results from amateur shows and other contests this archive does not class as professional. Every total on this page covers the professional career only, so these are listed here but never counted, and they have no contest page.

Legacy
Brant is one of the few competitors whose reach came from print rather than placings. A hundred covers put her in front of an audience the contest results never would have, which is the same pattern this page series keeps finding.
Most-met rivals
Compare any two athletes →In 12 meetings, Jenny Lynn finished ahead of Monica Brant 11 times to 1.
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 1998 to 2013.
The magazine-cover count and the 1994 Muscle & Fitness cover are carried from the biography previously held in our corpus, which attributes the figure to her own website. We have not verified it independently.
Win rate here is first-place finishes as a share of all 16 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.
