Sandy Riddell was runner-up at the Ms. Olympia in 1989 and our database records no wins for her at all. She competed for eight years and was second at the Nationals twice.
Known for
The 1989 Olympia silver is the result. She placed fourth in 1991 and 1992 and sixth in 1993, from four appearances, and was third at the 1993 Ms. International.
Nine recorded contests and not one win, with an Olympia runner-up finish in the middle of them. That combination is rare enough to state plainly rather than smooth over.
Early career
She was runner-up at the Nationals in 1986 and 1987 before turning professional.

Where these results come from. Each contest in the table was recorded from a named source, and for Sandy Riddell those sources are Wikipedia 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.

Sources
Competition placings on this page come from our own contest database and cover 1985 to 1993.
The absence of any win is what our source data holds. It may be complete or it may be a gap.
Win rate here is first-place finishes as a share of all 6 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.
