Think of a weightlifter and the image that comes to mind is of a musclebound hulk with thighs like treetrunks. Think again. Petite 14-year-old Zoe Smith from Abbey Wood, London, has staked her claim to be the strongest girl in Britain after lifting almost two-thirds more than her bodyweight.
The 5ft 2in schoolgirl, who weighs 126 pounds, managed to hoist aloft an astonishing 210 pounds in one 'clean and jerk' event. Zoe was named one of the British Olympic Association's Athletes of the Year for 2008 after she took gold at the Commonwealth Youth Games in India.
