As I am gearing up for my very first weightlifting competition this Saturday, it is only fitting to post a video of the best lifters in my weight class from the Youth Olympic Games.
These are the first ever held youth Olympics and are for elite athletes who are too young to compete at the big time Olympics. These girls are pretty amazing. Lifting a 85kg Snatch and 107kg Clean & Jerk for someone my size seems unbelievable (let alone someone 14-16 years of age)!! I'm hoping to hit 55kg in the Snatch and 70kg in the Clean & Jerk.

Unfortunately I am unable to embed the video on this site due to Copyright from the IOC. But if you click the link you can watch it!
