Uplifting – to the top of the world!
In this latest podcast, Chris has followed up on a previous interview with Killyleagh’s Karen Burns, a world champion powerlifter.
In August last, the 54-year-old mother and grandmother from County Down, Northern Ireland had revealed how she had reached the top of her sport within five years through sheer determination. Karen had set a new British Masters Record for the squat lift earlier this year at Templepatrick, County Antrim and qualified for the Great Britain team. Earlier this month, she represented her country at the World Powerlifting Championships held in Newfoundland, Canada. Karen had appeared on the international stage on three previous championships in Sweden.
On this occasion Karen returned with a bronze and two silver medals. She talks to Chris about her preparation for her trip to Canada and participating in the World Championships. The Great Britain Powerlifting team included twenty ladies. Out of whom nine were appearing for the first time in an international event. The Great Britain ladies brought home eleven gold, thirteen silver and ten bronze medals.
Join Chris talking to Karen about her experience and latest successes in Canada.
