Yaxeni was born the youngest of nine children (four brothers and four sisters). Yaxeni won four amateur contests in 1993, earning her pro card in the process. She then moved to the United States. Her most noteworthy achievement as a professional has been winning the Ms. Olympia title in 2005. She has also won four Ms. International titles, in 2002, 2003, 2005, and 2008. At a height of 5 ft 7 in, her contest weight is typically around 160 lb, though she weighs around 185 lb during the off-season. She now lives in Miami Beach, Florida with her husband and son, and works as a personal trainer at Crunch in South Beach.
Since winning her pro card in 1993, Venezuela's Yaxeni Oriquen has trained with a view to capturing female bodybuilding's biggest prize - the Ms. Olympia. After 12 long years she finally won this title (in 2005), an experience she would like to repeat this year. Many are calling her the largest, most symmetrical female bodybuilder of all time and as her recent performances suggest, she has every chance of continuing her winning streak.
