Notable events
Juliette Bergmann won her 1st lightweight and overall Ms. Olympia title. She had not competed since the 1989 World Pro Championships and was considered a dark horse competitor.[ 3] There was controversy over the 2001 Ms. Olympia overall title being awarded to Juliette, with some claiming the move was political. For the past 10 years, she has been a still active International Federation of BodyBuilding and Fitness (IFBB) international judge, working alongside the same judges who decided the outcome of 2001 Ms. Olympia.[ 3] [ 4]
There was no scoresheet for the overall. Jim Manion counted the votes and verbally communicated who the winner was, but nothing was written down. According to Jim, the 8 judges voted for Juliette Bergmann, while 2 judges voted for Iris Kyle.[ 3]
This was the only Ms. Olympia where the lightweight Ms. Olympia title winner beat the heavyweight Ms. Olympia title winner to win the overall Ms. Olympia title.[ 3]
Iris Kyle won her 1st heavyweight Ms. Olympia title. At the end of the fourth round, both Iris Kyle and Vickie Gates were tied in the scorecard at 43 points. Iris won due to the IFBB tie breaking rule that the discarded highs and lows from all three previous rounds will be used to break the tie, with her getting 12 first place votes, while Vickie got 9 first place votes.[ 3] [ 5] [ 6] [ 7] This was the slimmest margin of victory for a Ms. Olympia heavyweight title.[ 8]
This was the only Ms. Olympia where the heavyweight Ms. Olympia title was won through a IFBB tie breaking rule.
The two emcee of the 2001 Ms. Olympia was Tim Wilkins and Monica Brant .
The overall posedown song was It's My Life Bon Jovi .
The top three heavyweight and top three lightweight posedown song was Tom Sawyer Rush .
