Dayana M. Cadeau (born June 2, 1966)[9] is a Haitian Canadian[10] professional female bodybuilder.

Early life and education

Cadeau was born in 1966 in Haiti. At the age of seven, she and her mom moved to Quebec City, Quebec, where she was raised. Her mom wanted her to learn English, so she was enrolled in a private Christian school.[11] [12]

Bodybuilding career

Amateur

Cadeau earned her pro card in 1997 by winning the overall title at the Canada Cup.

Professional

1997-2004

When the IFBB introduced weight classes in 2000, Cadeau first competed as a heavyweight at the 2000 Ms. International. Afterwards she competed as a lightweight. During her pro career, her home country would appear as both Canada and the United States in the competition scorecard. At the 2002 Ms. International, she again competed as a heavyweight. In the 2003 Ms. International, she competed as a lightweight, only to compete as a middleweight in the 2003 Jan Tana Classic. The year 2004 was her most successful year in the sport, with her winning the lightweight title in the Ms. International and Ms. Olympia.[13] [14]

2005-2011

She would place 2nd at Ms. Olympia from 2006 to 2008. She would remain in the top six in every IFBB pro-competition, with the exception of the 2009 Ms. International and 2011 Ms. International and 2011 Ms. Olympia.

Retirement

In 2011, Cadeau announced she is retiring from bodybuilding and joined physique.
