The radio interview with Laylaa-Shiyaam Jacobs, a visually impaired
powerlifter from Centurion, was both inspiring and motivating and had a
lighthearted humour thanks to her sarcasm. Laylaa shared her remarkable
journey into powerlifting, which began just a year ago when she was
encouraged by her Criminology lecturer to compete at the Arnold Classic
Africa sports festival. Despite her visual impairment, Laylaa quickly
excelled, especially in the deadlift, where she consistently broke world
records in her category. She spoke passionately about her love for the
sport, her training regimen, and the challenges she has overcome. Laylaa
also discussed her future goals, including competing in the 2025 WPC
Worlds, which will be held in South Africa. The interview highlighted her
determination, resilience, and the significant impact powerlifting has had on
her life, leaving listeners inspired by her achievements and positive outlook.
