Sally & Tyson
Bodybuilders (AUS)



This loved-up couple are much softer than they look. Are they tough enough to put their friendly nature aside in favour of a win?

Sally (33) was born in Tokyo and Tyson (38) grew up on a farm in regional WA. It was love at first sight when Tyson met Sally at a Perth bar four years ago.

The visually arresting couple now live together in Perth with their two whippets, Nitris and Rokit, and are absolutely besotted with each other.

“Sally's beautiful on the inside and out,” says Tyson.

Sally says: “Tyson is the most incredible person I've ever met.”

Sally is a Locum Veterinarian and Tyson is a personal trainer. The duo bonded over their love of fitness. Tyson started training Sally to compete in Bikini and Fitness modelling in 2012 and she won the IFBB Bikini World Cup in Austria last year.

Tyson has competed as a Physique and Fitness model for four years and has a collection of titles, notably he won the IFBB O'Mara Classic Men's Physique in 2011 and ANB Supernatural Mania Fitness Model in 2012.

Their relationship is built on mutual respect.

“Both our strengths are very different, so when it comes to challenges we're going to be very versatile. Sally will take charge on certain ones and I'll take charge on others. We work very well together. We train together and we manage to find a very good balance with our relationship,” says Tyson.

Their biggest weakness is going to be their friendly nature.

“We may be too nice at times,” admits Tyson.

Sally agrees, “I can see Tyson helping other teams too much – we'll need to get a move on and he'll still be carrying bags for them!”

Both Sally and Tyson are qualified Personal Trainers, though despite their fitness-focused lifestyle, Sally says, “we're not in-your-face competitive. We're more competitive in terms of challenging ourselves and wanting to do our best.”

When questioned on flying the Australian flag, Tyson says, “anything where you can represent your country is pretty special.”

Perth model teams fit to race

https://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/a/24395242/perth-model-teams-fit-to-race/


They are fit, attractive and ready to dart across the globe in a high-octane adventure that could see them pocket a $250,000 prize.

Meet WA's latest crop of contestants on The Amazing Race Australia - who, by chance, all happen to be models.

There are beauty queens Inga Lederhaus and Tiharna McGregor, who claim to be the "three Bs" - busty, brainy brunettes - while smitten couple Sally Yamamoto and Tyson Smith have a handful of prestigious titles between them as fitness and physique models.

And not only did the two teams already know each other but Lederhaus and McGregor also have a special link to the 2011 series runners-up, Perth * stunners Sam Schoers and Renae Wauhop.

"We all modelled together through the same agency," Lederhaus told AAA Weekend.

"Tiharna is best friends with Sam and then I did Miss Universe with Renae. And we have met Sally and Tyson too. When we got (to the starting point) we were like 'What?'"

After a two-year gap between seasons, the Seven show is back with a new theme, Australia v New Zealand, and will see 10 teams charge through a handful of countries with mystery challenges at every turn.

With Smith being a burly personal trainer and Yamamoto a pint-sized veterinarian, they are also expecting the other contestants to judge them based on their looks.

But don't let Smith's sheer size fool you - he insists he is really a big softie at heart.

"Our strength is our weakness as well because we are nice," the 38-year-old said.

"We want to try to win the race fair and square without burning people left, right and centre. We want to look back and not have any regrets. But, at the same time, being too nice might be our downfall."

The Bayswater lovebirds are also not seduced by the thought of becoming famous faces from their time on the show, with Yamamoto saying they did not want to have their "heads up in the clouds".

"We live a really simple life and we plan to keep it that way," the 33-year-old smiled.

The Amazing Race Australia will return to Seven/GWN7 later this month.
