  1. I don’t see why they introduce the story with Olympic weightlifting when she’s a powerlifter, not a weightlifter.

  2. The people who made the video have some serious misconceptions. What the girl did, while impressive, does not make her “the strongest female weightlifter in the world.” Not even close.

  3. Right, but she holds a record in her weight class; not sure if that’s for young people in her weight class or all. I do wish parents would resist the urge to put their kids in squat suits.

  4. It’s not for young people, it’s a world record for women in her weight class. Also , she happens to be a very nice kid.

  5. I don’t doubt that she’s a very nice kid. I do doubt that squat suits are good ideas for people who have not finished growing (whereas I have no problem with raw lifting, even very heavy, for young people.) Thank you for filling me in on the record.

  6. being the strongest in your weight group!=the strongest female weightlifter in the world. She’s not even close to the strongest female weightlifter in the world.
