3. Olympic Lifting

Jess has fun in an Olympic Lifting competition. The world of women weightlifters with stand-up Jessica Fostekew. From 2023.

Jessica Fostekew's stand-up series about strong women.

Things start getting technical as we look into the world of Olympic Lifting and get familiar with the 'Snatch' and the 'Clean and Jerk'.

Jess talks to Champion Olympic lifters Emily Campbell and Zoe Smith about dealing with the opinions of others, their route into the sport and what to eat if you want to get strong (spoiler, the answer is - your dinner).

Jess also takes part in an Olympic Lifting competition, where she's very much a newbie but has a lot of fun!

Written and Performed by Jessica Fostekew
