A 22 year old woman heading to the Olympics - as a weightlifter

5'8" tall and 350 lbs.

A very fascinating feature from the NYT.

Olympic weight lifting consists of two lifts: the snatch and the clean-and-jerk. The movements are more pole vault than bench press — Houdini-like feats of physics and grace. For the snatch, the lifter squats and stands explosively, accelerating the bar overhead, then drops back down into a squat. For the clean-and-jerk, the lifter squats, lifts the bar to the clavicle, then jumps into a lunge while thrusting the bar up. In March at the Olympic trials, held at the Arnold (as in Schwarzenegger) Sports Festival in Columbus, Ohio, Mangold snatched 110 kilos (242.5 pounds) and clean-and-jerked 145 kilos (319.7 pounds), placing just behind the other woman in her weight category selected for the Olympic team, Sarah Robles.
