Each mark is one contest: the faint bar is the whole field on that show's card, top to bottom, and the dot is where Chris Dickerson finished in it — so a dot near the top of a long bar beat a deep field. Wins are gold (1). Diamonds on a gold bar are the Olympia — 5 appearances, 1 won. Every value is in the table below.
