Lucy Milgrim is a special 9-year-old girl. Most girls her age like playing with phones, but Lucy loves lifting weights and wrestling. She is very strong.
Lucy set three U.S. records in powerlifting. Last month, Lucy went to a sports festival in Ohio. She weighs only 60 pounds, but she lifted three times her body weight easily. This made her famous online quickly.
Lucy’s dad, Brett, felt proud of her. He said Lucy was always a strong kid. When Lucy was very young, she saw her parents working out in the gym. She wanted to do the same. Her dad is a wrestling coach. He took her and her brother to wrestling practice. That’s how Lucy got interested in wrestling.
However, not everyone thinks this is good. Many people talk about Lucy online. Some say heavy lifting is bad for her health. They worry it may harm her body. They think kids should not lift heavy weights before high school. Until now, Lucy and her family have not said anything about these worries.
