Zoe Smith: our hero

As discussed in episode 3, Zoe Smith is an incredible woman.

While building up to the most important competition of her life, Britain's best weightlifter somehow found time to articulately dismiss all the idiotic critics who expect her to conform to their wrong-headed and outdated stereotypes.  You can and definitely should read her brilliant blog here.

This is the part where we'd usually try to find something cynical or sarcastic to say, but we're absolutely blown away.  So just keep at it, Zoe.  We're behind you all the way.

  2. Thanks for reading - hard to believe she's so young, isn't it? She seems incredibly mature, and the blog post was a great piece of writing in any context. What a star!
