“Jordan is no longer in the Men’s Physique category; he is now in the Classic Physique cat­egory.

“I am stepping into the next cat­egory, the Wellness Division.

“We will definitely go back and compete with a bigger bet­ter package in the NzIFBB Show next year.”

She added that the door is open for those young people who are interested in the sport.

“For anyone out there who would like to take up the sport you must first have self-disci­pline, patience most of all be­lieve in yourself no matter how hard life gets,” she said.

“Set and understand your goal and do whatever it takes to achieve it knowing you will have to also make a lot of sacrifices along the way, the end result is rewarding.”
