Lucy’s Remarkable Feat at Arnold Sports Festival
New York resident Lucy Milgrim, weighing only 27 kilograms, achieved a remarkable feat at the Arnold Sports Festival held in Columbus, Ohio last month. The young athlete lifted an impressive 81 kilograms, three times her body weight, in front of a cheering crowd. Milgrim currently holds three USA Powerlifting records.
Professional Wrestling Training
Lucy’s father, Brett Milgrim, a wrestling coach, highlighted that his daughter is “a naturally strong child” with a unique physical foundation compared to her peers. Her passion for sports began early, imitating her parents during their gym sessions. Now, at just 9 years old and training five days a week, she is also receiving professional wrestling training under her father’s guidance.
Controversy on Social Media
The viral videos of Lucy’s weightlifting performances have sparked medical and ethical discussions online. While many admire her impressive skills, critics include social media users and some experts who question the safety of subjecting a developing child to such heavy lifts.
