Diane Marin took home a trophy at this year’s Alberta Summer Naturals competition
“I love challenges and I love to push myself to my limits,” says Yellowknife athlete, Diane Marin. “Although your physique can look great, you can always aspire to do better or improve. And it’s always nice to have a goal.”
Marin, 31, was the only athlete representing the Northwest Territories at this year’s Alberta Summer Naturals bodybuilding competition.
She came third in the women’s wellness category, a new subdivision of the competition catered to women with genetically larger legs, hips and glutes. This also means that she qualifies for national-level competitions.
“There are no competitors that come from any of the three territories besides me,” she says.
