    I just found out about this girl last week, she’s only 16 but has already broken three British under-18 powerlifting records, can lift twice her own bodyweight and pull her dad’s van!

    She’s competing at the British Bench Press Championships on the 11th, let’s hope she does well. Here’s the links to a couple of articles about her and a video from BBC Scotland, I think you’ll all agree she’s very impressive.

    I found out today that Bronwyn won a gold and a silver medal at her bench-press compaction on Saturday, and will now be representing Brittan at the world finals in May. Here’s a link to the article Link .

    Also I found a video on youtube of her appearing on daybreak, here’s the link Link .

    I read somewhere that she her goal is the 2016 Olympics.

    I also read somewhere that she is already 5’10, so far.
    She is going to be a big gal when the next Olympics comes around.

    In case anyone missed it here’s a video of Bronwyn’s appearance on BBC’s One Show where she shows of her bench-press prowess and pulled a van with six people inside.

    And she makes it look easy!

    Amazing smile
    Her being 5’10” explains why she looks 19 instead of 16

    Just in case anyone is interested Bronwyn has posted some videos on youtube of herself working out (Link) and has just posed a load of newspaper cuttings about her on her twitter feed (Link).

    In weightlifting? That’s a long frame to fill up and it takes more time for tall lifters to get good.

    If those numbers are really the records I could make some comment about the level of the competition but not going to. All the best for her.
