Anja Langer started competing in the bodybuilding at 18-years-old in secret. Her parents weren’t supportive of the sport, but her heart was set. Her dedication and effort brought her fourth in the German Championship in 1983 and in the World Champion in Australia in 1985. She went on to win the German as well as the European Championships in 1986. In 1987, she placed second in the IFBB Pro World Championship. Anja took second place in the 1988 Ms. Olympia. She was aiming to take first in the 1990 Olympia, but pregnancy prohibited her from putting enough attention on her training. However, Anja has been active in the industry all through the 90’s and into 2000.
