Data updated

Known for

Bikini was added to the Olympia in 2010 and Gonzalez won it. That makes her the division's first champion, in what is now the largest class in the sport by entry numbers.

She was fifth in 2011 and sixth in 2012, the years Nicole Nagrani and Nathalia Melo took the title, and won the Arnold Classic bikini title in 2012 alongside the MuscleContest Pro.

Early career

She competed in figure first, placing eleventh at the 2009 Olympia and eighth at the Ms. International, and was second at the California Pro that year.

The move to bikini came in 2010 and produced the title immediately. Her recorded career ends in 2012.

How Sonia Gonzalez 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.

18.8FFMI
20.4Normalised FFMI
108thOf 147 measured women

The closest Olympia champion on that measure is Rachel McLish, at 20.4, 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: 73 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 Sonia Gonzalez sits among the athletes we hold measurements for, not among competitors.

Where these results come from. Each contest in the table was recorded from a named source, and for Sonia Gonzalez those sources are MuscleMemory and NPC Contests. 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.

Legacy

Bikini now has the biggest fields on any schedule. The competitor who won its first Olympia switched into it from another division, won at the first attempt, and was out of the sport within three years.
