Nan who started powerlifting in her sixties has become world champion - aged 70
A grandmother-of-four who started powerlifting in her sixties has proved that age is just a number as she's become a world champion - aged 70. Susan Sabuda spends around ten hours a week in the gym training in the sport, which involves squatting, bench pressing and deadlifting heavy weights. The mum-of-four took up the sport when she was 64 and has now competed in Canada, Spain, Sweden, Hungary and Lithuania. She says people are often "amazed" that when they find out that she is a Team GB powerlifter because of her age. And Susan, a retired gardener, was crowned world champion in the masters four division of the IPF World Masters Powerlifting Championships.
