Weightlifting's Next Olympic Champion? [Ep. 94: Ella Nicholson]

Obviously, I want to go there and have like a six for six perfect day.

But I think what matters more to me is this quad.

It's not just one meet that you need to do good at just because you do good in China or just because you do good at another meet like later in this year.

You need to have five good totals and it's going to be like consistency over everything.

Welcome back to the Last Set, Best Set podcast.

I'm Coach Calvin, a coach through Big Ben Strength and owner of Lionheart Weightlifting.

Today, we have Ella Nicholson, who is a youth world champion, two-time junior world champion, is currently ranked third in the country among women.

She's about five weeks out right now from her very first senior world championships, which is the first Olympic qualifier.

Ella, thanks for coming on.

Hey, guys.

So, yeah, actually, this is the first week back at Lindenwood, and we're missing you.

You've moved full-time to the Olympic Training Center.

How's that been?

Yeah, I'm living here in Colorado Springs at the Olympic Training Center.

It's really great.

I have everything that I need to become the best that I can at weightlifting, so it's really exciting.

Yeah, you're all in now, yeah?

Yeah.

100%.
