Data updated
Known for
The Ms. International record is the headline. Oriquen won it in 2002, 2003, 2005, 2008 and 2012, spread across a decade, against three different generations of competitor. Nobody else has five.
Her Olympia record ran even longer. She first placed there in 1998 and last competed in 2020, and between 2005 and 2012 she finished first, seventh, third, third, fifth, second, second and third. Eight consecutive years inside the top seven of the hardest women's lineup in the sport.
Early career
Oriquen is Venezuelan and her recorded career starts in 1994. The first Olympia appearances, tenth in 1998 and tenth again in 1999, gave no indication of what followed.
The turn came in 2002. She took fourth in the heavyweights at the Olympia, won her first Ms. International, and won the Show of Strength Pro Championship. She defended the Ms. International in 2003, won the Night of Champions and a second Show of Strength in 2004, and then won the Ms. Olympia in 2005.
She kept winning long after that. The Phoenix Pro in 2010, a fifth Ms. International in 2012 alongside the Arnold Classic women's title, and the Lenda Murray Pro in 2016, twenty-two years after her first recorded contest.

Physique benchmark
How Yaxeni Oriquen 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.

16thOf 147 measured women
The closest Olympia champion on that measure is Lenda Murray, at 24.8.
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 Yaxeni Oriquen sits among the athletes we hold measurements for, not among competitors.

Legacy
Women's bodybuilding lost its Olympia division in 2015 and did not get it back until 2020. Oriquen competed on both sides of that gap, which almost nobody did, and her record is one of the strongest arguments that the division should never have been dropped.
She is also a reminder of how thin the coverage is. Five Ms. International titles and a Ms. Olympia would make a male competitor a permanent reference point. Before this page there was no biography of her here at all.
Sources
Competition placings on this page come from our own contest database and cover her record from 1994 to 2020.
Her 2012 Ms. International win is recorded twice, once under that name and once as the Arnold Classic women's bodybuilding title. They are the same contest: the Ms. International is held at the Arnold. It appears as two rows in the table below.
