A power couple proved they have the strongest relationship in Europe after they both bagged the top prize in their respective strength championships - on the same day. Josh Lancaster and Mollie Wagstaff fought off tough competition to claim gold in the Arnold Classic Strong Man and Strong Woman events in Seville, Spain.
Taking place on September 16, 33-year-old Mollie was stunned to discover she’d taken the top spot in the under 75kg category event, edging out “Germany’s strongest woman”. While husband Josh, 31, admitted to feeling “secretly jealous'' of his partner’s achievements, he later stormed to victory himself in the under 80kg weight class.
Far from revelling in his success, Josh, who weighs 79kg, entered the under 90kg men’s competition the following day, where he finished seventh, while Mollie took their three-year-old daughter out for the day. Their success is all the more impressive by breaking the stereotype of having to eat lots of meat, with Josh becoming a vegetarian four years ago.
