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. James Berger and Rajesh John meet that test 3 times. For scale, this database holds 10 recorded results for James Berger and 7 for Rajesh John across their full careers. Counted from the contest record as of September 1, 2026.

James Berger and Rajesh John 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.

James Berger reached his competitive peak from 2025 to 2025, winning 1 Olympia title in Men's Wheelchair.

Rajesh John reached his competitive peak from 2023 to 2024, one of his strongest stretches (60% win rate across 5 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.

James Berger, beyond the scoreline

The part of this matchup a results table cannot hold, written by hand rather than derived from the record.

The jump is the story. Eighth at the 2024 Olympia, first at the 2025 one. Between them he won the Texas Pro and finished second at the Arnold Classic, then took the Arnold and the Arnold Classic United Kingdom in 2026.

He also won the Dallas Pro in 2024, in his second professional season.

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.

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.

Shared Contest

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.

Method

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.
