A LEIGH woman who has been a body builder for 24 years has won her first national competition following just 16 weeks of training.

Tania Fisher, 44, entered the Zak Khan Classic competition, in the Masters Bodyfitness category, and finished triumphant - meaning she can now take part at the British Championship in October.

Tania said: ā€œI have never really been in the right mind for a competition. I am buzzing. Iā€™m on cloud nine.ā€
