Granny clinches arm-wrestling championship
July 17, 2025
|The Citizen
A Pretoria grandmother went from being curious to becoming an arm-wrestling champion in a matter of months after winning her first competition.
Natashja Meintjies, 39, left in picture, from Waverley in Pretoria, began her arm-wrestling journey unexpectedly in 2023, when her son showed interest in the sport.
Meintjies competed in the Armdruk is Groot (Arm-wrestling is Big) competition over the weekend, against six other women.
"It was a rough weekend. I won two matches and lost three. I looked at the video footage afterwards and saw what I should work on in preparation for the World Championships in Bulgaria in September."
Meintjies, who has three children aged 23, 20 and seven and a grandchild of six months, said her dream was to represent South Africa on an international arm-wrestling stage.
