[Oly] Lisa Fisco

Something to encourage the women, I think. At 47, recently divorced and very overweight, Lisa decided to pursue a dream of competing in Olympic weightlifting. If she makes the US team, then at 52 she'll be the oldest woman on a weightlifting team in the Olympics ever. She travels 4 hours a day 5 days a week to training, and does 4 hours of training. So basically this is a second full-time job for her...

Here she is 3 years ago, just started,

And here she is more recently.

I've no idea if she'll make the US team as she hopes. However, she's come a long way and is a lot closer to the team than she was when she started!
