British Masters champion, Trish Tenn

Trish Tenn has added another title to her ever-expanding list.

The Cheltenham-based weightlifter has been crowned British Masters champion in the 59 kilos category for over-60s.

And she also won the best lifter award for females at the championships which were held in Bangor in north Wales.

“I’m very pleased,” she said. “I also broke the British record in the snatch.”

The 62-year-old is now looking forward to the European Championships in Albania in April.

And although she is in her seventh decade, she wants to keep on competing for as long as she can.

“As long as I enjoy it,” she said. “Winning helps.

“Weightlifting keeps me fit, healthy and strong. I like to be a role model for women.”
