Sarah Robles is the first person to medal for the USA in weightlifting in 16 years!

“It’s good not just for me, but for women of size, for women who want to get up off the couch and do something different.”

Robles, who is Mexican-American, said before the games that she wanted to inspire other Latinos. “As an Olympic athlete, I represent all Americans, but representing Latinos and Latinas is a great honor.”

Bless this incredible woman (x)
