The Ms.Olympia contest is one of the most prestigious sport events in the bodybuilding community. Women began competing in the 1970s. At that time, it was mostly white women who participated in the United States. Gradually, black women became involved. During the 1980s Carla Dunlap was one of the most prominent female bodybuilders. She would become the first black woman to win the Ms.Olympia in 1983. Prior to competing in the sport she was involved in gymnastics and swimming. Her first bodybuilding contest was IFBB Best in the World in 1979. She ranked fifth, which was impressive for a first attempt. Carla Dunlap's bodybuilding career lasted for a total of thirteen years. Carla Dunlap was later inducted into the IFBB Hall of Fame in 1999.
