Sisters of only female GB weightlifter: We're 'really proud'

5 Live In Short

Available for over a year

The sisters of Team GB's only female weightlifter in the Rio Olympic Games have said they are "really proud" of her. 17-year-old Rebekah Tiler, from Todmorden in Yorkshire, finished fourth at the Commonwealth Games when she was just 15. Her sisters, 13-year-old Sophie, 11-year-old Lisa and seven-year-old Emily are also keen weightlifters but their mum Emma can't "grasp the technique" the same way as her daughters. Lisa told 5 live Breakfast's Nicky Campbell that competing at the Rio Olympics is a "once in a lifetime chance" for Rebekah. This clip is originally from 5 live Olympic Breakfast on the 10th of August 2016.
