Erika Geisen

Erika Geisen, whose surname the English Wikipedia article also spells Giesen, is an Australian professional bodybuilder who competed in the 1980s. She won a string of amateur titles, taking first place at the South Pacific and Miss Asia contests in 1983, the Australian championship in 1984 and the Australasia contest in 1986, and placed second in the lightweight class at the 1984 World Amateur Championship. Her greatest success came in 1986, when she won the first Ms. International contest, which makes her the first bodybuilder to hold that title. She also entered the IFBB Ms. Olympia in 1986, finishing eleventh, and placed sixth at Ms. International in 1988. After retiring from competition she moved to a cattle station in Queensland, where she lives with her husband, and she is still regarded as the most successful Australian bodybuilder of all time.
