1982 Miss Olympia
One of the golden oldies: Rachel McLish was the winner in this the 3rd year of the contest. She was followed by Carla Dunlap, Kike Elomaa, Lynn Conkwright and many other famous names of the 80s. As they wrote at the time, “The new Miss Olympia is lean, muscular, sensual. She is the new breed of woman.”

Winner Rachel McLish went on to star in films and is still in fantastic shape today. A year later, Carla Dunlap won the 1983 Miss Olympia contest. Sadly no film or video record of that 1983 event exists.
In 1982 Rachel reclaimed the title she won at the first ever Miss Olympia contest in 1980. In this classic production see all of the women on the boardwalk and at the Playboy Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City, NJ. The filming of the contest brings you so close to the action you can almost smell the baby oil!
Of the competitors, a number are sadly no longer with us. They include Kay Baxter, Laura Combes and Candy Csencsits. This is the first ever DVD of a Miss Olympia (Ms. Olympia) contest.
*Special Note re the 1982 Miss Olympia DVD content
It was not till 1985 that Weider decided to officially videotape the Ms. Olympia, and they have done so every year since.
Although the full 1982 Miss Olympia results are listed for this DVD for general interest, I do not mean to infer that you will see every competitor posing. That is not the case.
Of the 26 competitors, you see 16 doing their posing. Unfortunately two of the missing posing routines include Kay Baxter and Caroline Cheshire who were placed 8th and 14th respectively.
