Record-breaking weightlifter Precious McKenzie is back in New Zealand after being inducted into South Africa’s Weightlifting Hall of Fame by none other than Arnold Schwarzenegger.
But it's all been far from smooth sailing for the almost 83-year-old. McKenzie fell ill as a child, suffering from double pneumonia.
Born in Durban, South Africa, McKenzie was barred from representing his country during the apartheid regime, because of the colour of his skin.
Instead, representing Britain - and later New Zealand - we got to claim him as our own, after he left Africa for good to pursue his dreams. He still lives in Auckland to this day.
