She's bigger than most male SHW's. Honestly Robles is the much better lifter, stronger, much more confident. Alas, she isn't a face for American Olympic Lifting. We like our big girls bubbly and out going. Robles is much too businessy.
They did a segment on Robles, she and her mom are dirt poor, US weight org. gives her 400 a month. Not even enough to buy food. No money at all in weightlifting. I felt bad for her. Seems very determined and hard working. Was hoping she would do well, any idea how she did. Weightlifting gets no coverage, but they give it to badminton and men's synchronized diving?!!
