Karenjeet Kaur Bains, a 23-year-old powerlifter from Warwickshire made history this summer by becoming the first Sikh women to represent Britain at the World Powerlifting Championships.

She balances her training with a full-time job at KPMG and qualified as an ACA on 2 October. It took her 5 years to pass the 15 exams, and admits: “It’s been a crazy demanding schedule over the last 5 years balancing full time work, studying and competing at an international level.”

Bains was very happy about no longer has to sit revising at the desk at crazy o’clock. And how much can she lift? A 26 stone man is the answer!
