Whanganui bodybuilder Jan Dixon has muscled her way in to the Natural Olympia tournament in Los Vegas in November where she will defend for Miss Olympia title.
The Turakina farmer has hit form at the right time to peak for the trip to Nevada, although City Gym Wanganui coach Pat McNamara has entered her for two more competitions to ensure she is on song for the American show.
The 50-year-old has won two overall titles and numerous class competitions in the last five weeks to qualify her for the Natural Olympia tournament.
Last weekend Dixon and club mate Tim Warren represented City Gym at the International Natural Bodybuilding Association (INBA) competition in Taupo where she competed in the Masters over 40 class and the Open Short Women grade.
There were three competitors in each class and Dixon took out both titles, which allowed her into the Overall Women's Bodybuilding category. She took this title as well.
