    Two things — the record is 150 POUNDS MORE than she can lift? Like … SEVEN Ikea couches?

    And is it the Olympic rules that keep our country (which she’s representing) from giving her some support?

      I don’t know the rules any more. Jim Thorpe lost his medals over baseball. Now, you see Olympic athletes selling all kinds of things.
