An incredible local woman has won a national sporting title along with smashing a world record, pushing her on to an international sporting event. 

Erin Harris, a team GB one-armed athlete from Woodley, has recently won the impressive title of Britain's Strongest Disabled Woman for the second year running. 

"The competition was this September and I actually broke a world record that weekend," Mrs Harris said. 

"90 kilo atlas stone which I did one-handed. That was a goal for me for a long time so was so happy that I could finally get my hands on it."

After winning the competition for the second time around, Mrs Harris was invited to compete in the World's Strongest Disabled Woman this weekend in Birmingham. 

Her family is flying over from Ireland to support her whilst she competes in various weight-lifting trials over the next few days. 

"I've got five events. The first one is dumbells 30 kilos, then I've got a sled-pull, deadlift, and atlas stones among other things," she continued. 

"It will be quite taxing on the body, but I feel ready and feel good for it. I think I've got it."

Mrs Harris said that along with herself she will be competing against a whole variety of different women with different disabilities. 

Some compete sat down in wheelchairs, some are amputees, some suffer from MS, and some are visually impaired among many other conditions.

"There's a lot of new faces as people are coming from all over the world, and I'm used to the girls I normally compete against so it's exciting," Mrs Harris continued. 

"Some of the things that the guys and girls can do in these competitions are amazing, and it's such a nice community in general."

Mrs Harris was born with a condition called type four congenital ulnar dysplasia which affects her right arm.

The condition means she is missing one of her forearm bones, making the limb a lot smaller with reduced mobility in the elbow.

The competition this weekend will kick off at 10 am tomorrow morning Saturday, November 2 and will conclude on Sunday, November 3. 

"It's a long weekend but I really enjoy it," Mrs Harris said. "I wouldn't even know how to process it if I were to win, it would be a dream come true."

Mrs Harris went on to say that she has only been doing this sport for two years and considers it to be two years of literal blood sweat and tears. 

"To get to this point is just really emotional and I'm really excited. Fingers crossed!" she concluded.
