Olympic weightlifting looks a lot more dangerous than it actually is. Provided you know how to perform the movements with good form and don't let your ego get in the way,, the risk of injury is very low compared to most other sports. It's definitely the least dangerous of the three major strength sports (the other two being powerlifting and strongman). Regarding the spine: elite weightlifters have the best spinal mobility of all athletes (apart from gymnasts and wrestlers), coupled with ridiculously overdeveloped back muscles. Done correctly, weightlifting can only benefit your spinal health.
Zoe Smith continued to improve but Rebekah Tiler stopped after funding from government stopped.Such a shame as finally drugs are rapidly leaving the sport especially women's division.Weights lifted from past champions using drugs have really dropped giving the natural lifters a chance.
I know Rebekah I have a photo of me and her and a photo of me and Zoe I used to be a weightlifter and I won the British championships at Birmingham I have cirtificates and trophies

As they grow up, do they get any side effects of lifting so much weight at su ch a young age? especially their spine?
