Rory Van Olft is the strongest child in the world, lifting 80 kilograms
The Daily Mail ran a report on a young girl from Ottawa, Canada. Her name is Rory van Olft. She can lift weights of up to 80 kilograms, and she said she would "clear her mind to do so."
The seven-year-old, who is only four feet tall, started lifting weights right after her fifth birthday, after her talents in a gymnastics class were revealed.
She recently won the United States Championship in weightlifting under 11 and the National Under-13 Championship in the 30kg category, making her the youngest national youth champion in the United States in history. "It would be fair to say that Rory is the strongest little girl in the world," said her father, Kavan.
At the same time, he insisted that the unusual hobby was safe for his daughter, explaining, “Her safety is everyone's top priority. She is progressing her sports exercises carefully and systematically. ”
“Based on her current tournament streak, Rory isn't just the strongest seven-year-old girl in the world,” Kavan said. It's also possibly the strongest seven-year-old girl or boy who has ever lived, and there are competitive results that can be verified. ”
But Rory sees herself as a gymnast first and foremost, spending nine hours a week training for it compared to four hours training in weightlifting.
After winning her first gymnastics medal - a bronze on the balance beam at a local competition - she told her parents, "I prefer gymnastics over weightlifting, because in gymnastics I don't have to lift anything over my head."
Other capabilities Rory Van Olft have
The schoolgirl can lift weights of 32 kg and 42 kg in addition to squatting with a weight of 61 kg. And do a fatal lift with a weight of 80 kg using a women's Olympic stick.
“I love getting stronger,” Rory said. It allows me to do more and better in everything I try to do. I don't think about what happened before, or what will come next. I don't think about anything. I just clear my mind and do that. ”
"In terms of Rory's relative strength, compared to all national champions in the girls' age and weight classes," Kavan said. Which differs from one country to another, there are currently no better competitions.
Rory's parents also indicated that she has no current Olympic ambitions because she is too young. "This kind of thing really doesn't matter to me," said Rory.
Rory goes to school full time in third grade, and her father said, “She's so smart and really able to focus. This is one of the factors that make them competitive at such a young age. ”
