How this is counted: a meeting is one contest where both athletes were judged in the same division. Standing on the same stage in different divisions is not a meeting, because the two were never scored against each other. Diana Dennis and Jackie Paisley meet that test 4 times. For scale, this database holds 19 recorded results for Diana Dennis and 12 for Jackie Paisley across their full careers. Counted from the contest record as of September 23, 2026.
Diana Dennis and Jackie Paisley at their peak
Peak window = the athlete's Olympia-title years where available, otherwise their best-placement years. Derived from recorded contest results. It is a span of years, not a rating.
Diana Dennis reached her competitive peak from 1983 to 1985, one of her strongest stretches (33% win rate across 6 contests in the window).
Jackie Paisley reached her competitive peak from 1986 to 1988, her strongest placement years on record (25% win rate across 4 contests in the window).
Score these two prime windows against each other on Prime vs Prime, where Olympia dominance is weighted for the size of the field each athlete beat.
Diana Dennis and Jackie Paisley, beyond the scoreline
The part of this matchup a results table cannot hold, written by hand rather than derived from the record.
Diana Dennis
Nine Olympia appearances between 1985 and 1994, opening with a bronze in her first year. She was fifth in 1992 and sixth in 1991, still in the top six seven years after the first.
The wins are the 1985 Nationals, the Los Angeles Pro and Grand Prix Los Angeles in 1986, and the World Pro Championships in 1989.
Jackie Paisley
The 1989 Ms. International is the biggest title, and she was runner-up there the following year and third the year before. Three consecutive podiums at the Arnold's own women's contest.
She was also runner-up at the 1989 World Pro Championships and fourth at the Olympia in 1989 and fifth in 1990.

Attribute Tug-of-War
Each bar splits a metric by each athlete's share of their combined total. A centered bar means they are level.
Not enough data to compare
Career attributes could not be calculated for one or both athletes.
Career Overlap Timeline
Each bar runs from an athlete's first recorded contest to their last, so the stretch where the two bars cross is the period both were competing. The marks on the bars are the years they met in the same division, one mark per year however many times they met in it. Careers that never cross can still be read against each other on career totals; they just cannot produce a head-to-head record.
Career timeline unavailable
We do not have enough dated contest results to draw a timeline.
Career Stats Comparison
These are career-long figures, drawn from the results we hold for each athlete rather than only the contests the two shared, which is why a pair who never met still has something to compare. Where the two differ, the row marks the stronger figure: the higher number, except on Career Start and Best Placement, where the lower one is better and takes the mark. A row the two are level on marks neither.

This page counts finishing positions
Every figure here comes from where each athlete placed in the contest record. Judging sheets and point spreads are not in the database, so a comparison tells you who finished higher on the night. It does not tell you by how much, or how close the call was.
- A head-to-head result needs both athletes at the same contest in the same division. Two athletes on the same stage in different divisions were never judged against each other, so that show is not counted as a meeting.
- Only contests both athletes actually entered can be settled here. Careers that never overlapped produce a side-by-side record and no head-to-head, because there is nothing to count.
- Career totals cover the results we hold. A missing regional or amateur show lowers a total; it never invents one.
- A shared placement is left as a tie. It is reported separately rather than split between the two athletes.
