Charlie Wilson, who trains at Unique Fitness, has won the first official Kidderminster’s Strongest Man Competition.
The strongman competition, which was held on the courtyard of Flexible Fitness Gym, Dixon Street, saw 12 athletes competing for the trophy.

Charlie, who won all five events, said: ""It was great to represent Unique Fitness Kidderminster in the 2021 Kidderminster's Strongest Man competition.
"The pandemic caused many powerlifting competitions to be postponed and gyms to close due to restrictions, and I really enjoyed getting out there and competing."
Organiser of the event, Mark Crosby, said the day was a great success and was very pleased with how it went.
A future strongman competition is currently being planned for October.
