Nicola Atwool has just competed in her first weightlifting competition, aged 70.
Her appearance attracted a lot of attention among the competing lifters — not because of her bulging biceps, but because she was the oldest competitor there.
This time a couple of years ago, she was struggling to pick up a bag of groceries.
"I got into doing some strength and fitness because I was getting older, and it made me realise I had to use it or lose it," she said.
