The (obviously fit but otherwise pretty unassuming) young lady waiting to board at Heathrow was excited. Can’t wait to arrive in Miami and get this weekend started, she told her 15,000+ Instagram followers. My peanut butter made it through security!
Emma Paveley (in case you didn't recognise her) kicked off an unprecedented period of British success in Fitness this time last year when she won on her pro debut in Vancouver, and subsequently became the first British woman to compete in Fitness at the Olympia since Kizzy Vaines in 2012. This year, Kate Errington - the other half of the UK's pro Fitness attack - was runner-up at the Arnolds in Ohio, then Arnold Australia champion. At the start of this month, it was Emma's turn to shine again.
And shine she did. Miami Muscle Beach Pro Fitness champion. "Goal achieved" as she put it. She'll be joining Kate in Las Vegas in September for her second Olympia.
First time round she was a bit rabbit-in-the-headlights by her own admission. A fantastic experience, but 11th was not the result she wanted. I'm going to be bringing more than last year, she promised after Miami. I'll work harder and I will be better.
Such ambition, determination, and hard work has taken her to the top of British then European amateur Fitness, and now into the ranks of the pro elite of her sport.
Why change that formula now?
We can't confirm her "battle axe" trophy (handed over by the previous year's champ, Ariel Khadr) made it through customs like the peanut butter did going out!
Congratulations - once again - to Emma!
