LONDON: Sarah Davies put weightlifting down as a special talent when she entered her first beauty contest, the then-student egged on by regular drinkers in the Leeds pub where she worked behind the bar.
"I get quite a lot of people go ‘you don’t look like a weightlifter’ and I’m like ‘well, I am a weightlifter, I’m quite a good one. This is what a weightlifter looks like’," the 28-year-old told Reuters. "It’s my 10th year of lifting now and we used to have hardly any women in this sport in this country and now we’ve got at least a 50-50 split, if not more women doing weightlifting than men," said Davies.
