Frank Ferenc Schlepp secured his spot by earning a silver medal at the South East Bench 2024 competition, held in Gillingham on September 22, coinciding with this year's Autumn Equinox.
In an intense field of competitors, Frank’s dedication to his training and preparation paid off.
His performance earned him the qualifying result needed to enter the upcoming 2025 championship.
Looking ahead to next year's event, Frank said:
"I'm determined to push even further and to get one step closer to his ultimate goal.
"I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to my wife, who has been my pillar of strength, always standing by my side and supporting my ambitions.
"I'd also like to extend thanks to my gym friends, whose encouragement and motivation made this journey more achievable."
