Tanja Baumann: WFF Universe 2012 Championship

After 12 years of not competing and many health problems - I'm back!

On Saturday, 9^th June 2012, I took to the stage again in Baden (near Vienna), Austria.

Out of 180 athletes from countries across the globe I made it to the TOP TEN in the WFF Universe 2012 Miss Fitness category.

I'm delighted!

Enjoy some of the backstage photos showing my return to competitive athletics.
