Romania 
Alina Popa is a Romanian women's bodybuilder who competed primarily in the women's bodybuilding division during the 2010s. Her most significant achievement came at the 2014 Ms. Olympia, where she placed second in the women's bodybuilding category, representing her peak finish at the sport's premier annual contest.
Popa's competitive record spans from 2011 to 2018. She made her Ms. Olympia debut in 2011, placing fifth in the Ms. Olympia division. She returned to the Ms. Olympia stage in 2013, finishing third in women's bodybuilding before reaching her career-best second-place finish the following year at the 2014 Ms. Olympia. Between 2016 and 2018, Popa competed at the Rising Phoenix World Championships, a major international women's bodybuilding competition. She placed third at the 2016 edition, repeated that finish in 2017, and again placed third in 2018, demonstrating consistency at that level of competition over multiple years.
Alina Popa competed during a period when women's bodybuilding maintained distinct presence in professional contests, though the division's overall landscape was evolving. Her repeated appearances at the Ms. Olympia and consistent placements at the Rising Phoenix World Championships established her as a steady competitor in the upper ranks of the women's bodybuilding scene. The consistency of her third-place finishes across three consecutive Rising Phoenix competitions suggests a stable competitive standard, while her runner-up finish at Ms. Olympia in 2014 marked the high point of her recorded results. Popa's career trajectory reflects participation in the sport's most prestigious platforms during the 2010s, though her later competition records beyond 2018 are not documented in available results.
