Meet Zoe Smith, Team GB's 17-year old Olympic weightlifting hopeful.

ZoeSmith.jpg

Zoe currently lifts in the 63kg category but has her sights set on 58kg - like many of us she's hoping to shed body fat while not losing muscle, but for her it's a little more important!

Her top weight for the snatch is 86kg (190lbs) and for the clean-and-jerk 110kg (253lb), lifts few of us can even imagine.

Look at those scary girl muscles. I somehow suspect she's not all that bothered about getting a gap between her thighs either.

Just a flattering pose? Here she is in action.

    Here's the 2008 Olympic All-Around Gymnastics Champion.
    Look at how big and scary her arms are from all that uneven bars training!
    And those legs that are strong enough to throw a double front on floor? Obviously a very masculine figure. I was surprised this was even a girl. /sarcasm

    Ummm..she's in good shape and I'm not seeing scary arms. I've seen women with scary muscles and abs in some of those muscle magazines so this girl is just fit and has the body for someone in her sport. I box and have muscular arms and never got anything but compliments so muscles are good!.takes more calories to maintain muscle when the body is at rest than fat. Kudos for this kid and any other athletes to get fit at a young age. Maybe they won't have the issues with weight like I know I have for most of my life.

    Wow, and still looks amazing and very healthy!!

    This woman getting bulky stigma is ridiculous, we just don't have the testosterone to bet bulky!!
    I hope we all learn from her example of health and sexiness!

    I :heart: her healthy and sexiness!!!
