Tipperary-based bodybuilder Angela Walsh came third place in the Masters Figure WNBF World Championships in Los Angeles on November 22, 2025.

January is the month of fresh starts, and for many, that means stepping into the gym for the very first time. It can feel daunting, but every seasoned athlete once stood where you are now. Just ask Angela Walsh. Five years ago, during the quiet days of Covid, she picked up her first weights on a suggestion from her sister. Today, she’s a world-class bodybuilder who placed third at the WNBF World Championships in Los Angeles at the end of last year.

For Angela, bodybuilding is more than a sport—it’s a way of life. After months of intense preparation for the WNBF World Championships in Los Angeles, she is ready for a slower pace. This year is about enjoying the process: training hard, eating well, and savouring the freedom that comes with a more relaxed routine. Angela’s goal for 2026? To keep building strength while living life to the fullest.
