And Etta Love follows that up with a silver in women’s +87kg at the Junior World Championships in Leon, establishing a new youth WR of 254kg! (& a new C&J youth WR of 146kg)

 

Here’s a video of her C&J youth WR: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DAa7tRFoKW0/?igsh=MXByZWttN3E5OTg4ZA==

And Charlotte Simoneau won gold in the women’s 71kg with a total of 240kg! Her total was better than the 81 kg class and tied for gold in the 87kg class.

Simoneau is the heir apparent to Maude Charron, who I expect to retire before LA 2028 (she was going to after Tokyo fwir

Charlotte Simoneau won gold at the World Juniors with a combined lift of 245 kg competing in the 71 kg. Mind you she is still 19.

On one hand, I can't totally blame athletes who don't make any money. On the other hand, terrible thing to do to your body for something no one's really going to care about. But let's be honest, so many athletes already juice, this is just a way to maybe make some money out of it.

I’m not sure it’s going to have much shelf life. They’ll get some attention at first to see the trainwreck of it… but after that, not sure it has much allure.

 

People care about the Olympics, not so much records. They’d need to build it to something beyond a freak show element, cause when you go down that road the only way to keep an audience is keep pushing it further and further
