Klerksdorp Rekord, Klerksdorp - A personal trainer from Klerksdorp is a new world champion in bodybuilding at an international competition that was held in England recently.
Marius van der Mescht qualified for the SA team to participate at the UIBFF World Bodybuilding championship on November 4. He won the category Men’s Physique Masters for bodybuilders over 40.
Now an accomplished bodybuilder and trainer, Marius describes his former self as looking like Gru, the main character in the animation movie Despicable Me. That was five years ago. “I started going to the gym to live a healthier lifestyle, and when I started noticing changes in my body, I just continued until I entered my first competition and from then on it was tickets,’’ he laughs.
Pikkie vir SA-span gekies
Klerksdorp Rekord, Klerksdorp - ‘n Klerksdorper is in Rolbal SA se span ingesluit wat volgende jaar aan die wêreldkampioenskap vir gestremde rolbalspelers gaan deelneem.
Die toernooi vind in Ekhurhuleni plaas gedurende Mei en rolbalspelers van tien lande kom hier deelneem.
Pikkie Loots is ‘n voorbeeld van deursettingsvermoë na ‘n tref-en-trap ongeluk drie jaar gelede waarin hy sy linkerbeen verloor het. Pikkie was voor die ongeluk ‘n kranige rolbalspeler en het selfs die Noordwesspan gelei. Dit het ‘n rukkie geneem maar met sy positiewe gesindheid het hy eers in ‘n rystoel en nou op ‘n kunsbeen weer die sport begin beoefen.
“Wat `n groot eer en respek vir `n mens wat deur al die hartseer en pyn en lyding gegaan het, wat `n voorbeeld vir almal. Namens Klerksdorp Rolbal wil ons vir Pikkie in al sy vasbyt en pad vorentoe alles van die beste toewens,’’ het Henry Peens van Klerksdorp Rolbal gesê.
