Methodology

Methodology and coverage

Winning age is calculated on the contest start date from the champion's recorded birthdate for every Women's Bodybuilding Ms. Olympia (division_type_id = 10, is_overall_winner = 1, is_olympia = 1). 42 of 42 editions have enough date data, and 42 use an exact birthdate and contest date. Rows without enough date data are excluded, not estimated. The 2015 to 2019 hiatus is absent from the timeline. Source and review process.
