Shawn Rhoden (1975 to 2021) was a Jamaican-American IFBB Pro bodybuilder who won the 2018 Mr. Olympia by defeating the seven-time champion Phil Heath. Born in Kingston, Jamaica, he moved to the United States in 1990, settled in Maryland and began bodybuilding in 1992 after an early interest in soccer. He earned his IFBB Pro card by winning the 2009 North American Championships after years marked by injuries and alcohol dependence, then made his Mr. Olympia debut in 2011 and climbed from eleventh to second in 2016. At 43 years and 5 months he was the oldest Mr. Olympia titleholder. After a sexual assault allegation in Utah in October 2018, he was barred from the contest in 2019, and he died of a heart attack in 2021 at the age of 46.
