Rory van Ulft, a 7-year-old girl from Canada, was recently crowned as the Youth National Champion in the USA weightlifting under 30kg weight class. The youngest national champion in the history of weight lifting in the US, she can deadlift 80kg and snatch 32 kg. The 4-feet tall girl can also squat 61kgs and earned the nickname of the 'strongest girl in the world' for her impressive strength. While her feat amazes many, it also brings forth one of the most common myths associated with weightlifting to the fore - 'It is not safe for kids to lift weights', as it might hurt their growth plates. In simple words, lifting weights at an early age will affect the height and growth in kids.
