Inspiring Weight Lifter

[shangefan 193]

I was not sure where I should post this, but I wanted to share this story. I just saw a segment on Holley Mangold on HBO's Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel. I thought she was interesting because she is 5'8", 354 and heading to the Olympics as a weightlifter. (She also is the sister of Jets center Nick Mangold). http://espn.go.com/blog/olympics/post/_/id/2617/holley-mangold-a-star-in-the-making

That is very interesting! I'm proud of her for being so confident and doing what she loves! The only negative I could see was that her habits (the chipotle, all the time spent with video games) might one day land her with bad health. I simply hope that that does NOT happen. Also, I hope her weight doesn't make her injuries more severe

Congrats to her and I'm looking forward to watching it!
