Margaret V. Martin

Margie V. Martin (née Margaret Virginia Smith; born February 7, 1979), nicknamed "The Marvelous One", is an American professional female bodybuilder.

[5][7] From November 2007 to April 2009, Martin worked in Urasoe-shi, Okinawa, Japan, as a Human Resource Specialist for the U.S. Department of Defense.

[10] In 2007, she started thinking about competing in bodybuilding for the first time after losing weight after trying to work out so hard after several years after having her son as an unwed mother.

At the 2016 IFBB Wings of Strength Rising Phoenix World Championships, she won her second title in a row, but failed to win the best poser award.

[11] At the 2017 Rising Phoenix World Championships, Margie did not attend, allowing Helle Trevino to win the title.

Next year, she went on to win the 2018 Toronto Pro Supershow, but came in 2nd to Alina Popa at the 2018 Rising Phoenix World Championships.

She would cease attending future Rising Phoenix World Championships going forward in order to focus on the Ms. Olympia.

At the 2020 Ms. Olympia, Margie came in 2nd place to dark horse Andrea Shaw, who had just come off her win at the 2020 Rising Phoenix World Championships.
