A self-confessed "unlikely athlete" becomes powerlifting champion in just one year

A self-confessed "unlikely athlete" has become a powerlifting world champion - just ONE YEAR after taking up the sport. Lucinda Perrett, 28, said she never felt sporty growing up especially during PE lessons at school when she was always the last to be picked for games. But when she started going to the gym she realised she loved working out - and proved a natural. She soon entered a local lifting competition and literally went from strength to strength - climaxing in four gold medals at the world championships in the summer.
