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. Lola Montez and Rhea Gayle meet that test 8 times. For scale, this database holds 18 recorded results for Lola Montez and 29 for Rhea Gayle across their full careers. Counted from the contest record as of September 1, 2026.
Lola Montez and Rhea Gayle 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.
Lola Montez reached her competitive peak from 2018 to 2019, one of her strongest stretches (33% win rate across 6 contests in the window).
Rhea Gayle reached her competitive peak from 2025 to 2025, winning 1 Olympia title in Women's Figure.
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.
Lola Montez and Rhea Gayle, beyond the scoreline
The part of this matchup a results table cannot hold, written by hand rather than derived from the record.
Lola Montez
Four consecutive Olympia podiums, third in 2022, 2023 and 2024 and second in 2025, after finishing fifteenth on her first appearance in 2019. The climb took three years and has not stopped.
The professional wins are the Lenda Murray Pro in 2019, the Lenda Murray Norfolk Pro in 2021, the Arnold Classic United Kingdom and the Boston Pro in 2022, the Toronto Pro Supershow in 2023 and the Pittsburgh Pro in 2025.
Rhea Gayle
That sequence is the whole profile. Very few competitors in any division enter an Olympia seven times, and fewer still improve across almost all of them to finish on top. She went backwards twice and kept entering.
The professional wins came steadily through the climb: the Europa Dallas and Europa Pro in 2020, the Mr Big Evolution Pro in 2021, the Sasquatch Pro and San Antonio Pro in 2022, the Rising Phoenix Arizona Pro in 2023, the Tupelo Pro in 2024 and the Texas Pro in 2025.

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.
