An incredible local woman has bagged an international title in weight-lifting after previously winning the national award. 

Erin Harris, 29, from Woodley, has been crowned the World's Strongest Disabled Woman after winning Britain's Strongest only a few months prior. 

Ms Harris said the competition that took place last weekend, starting Saturday, November 2, went really well with her winning each one of the trials. 

She even revealed that when she was given the weights for each heat, she asked to be given heavier ones to compete with. 

"It was a really good weekend actually, there were so many new competitors from all over the world. Everyone was so nice and friendly," Ms Harris said. 

"It was really nice to be involved with lots of new people. The whole thing went as best as it could."

She went on to say how she won each event and even managed to hit some personal bests. 

The competition works on a point system basis where the competitor gets a certain number of points depending on how many people are in that trial. 

"I got the maximum amount of points as I won every event," Ms Harris said. 

"It hasn't really set in yet, and it's very weird talking about myself so much. It's a nice feeling as I've worked towards this for two years now."

When it was announced that she had bagged the title of World's Strongest Disabled Woman, Ms Harris was given a trophy and a medal. 

She relayed that she was also given a further award which commended her for 'never complaining' during trials. 

"I asked for heavier weights at the beginning because I felt that some of the weights they gave us originally were quite low," Ms Harris said. 

"They were light for world level, so I put it towards them that they should provide us with heavier stones."

She went on to say that she feels the competition needs to look at the different individuals and what they are capable of. 

"They need to look at what we can do as athletes, not just one-armed women."

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.
