The summer before she had added her name to the record books by becoming the first British woman to medal in weightlifting at the Olympics with silver in the +87kg event.

A Leeds Beckett graduate with a degree in Sports Science, the 28-year-old has achieved success across the board, with a bronze medal in the World Championships in Tashkent in 2021 as well as winning the European Championships in Moscow in the same year.
