Sarah Robles, a first time Olympian, is ranked the #1 weightlifter in the U.S. among both men and women. That designation led to her being coined
Now that Sarah is back from the U.K., she is available for interviews to discuss her experiences as an Olympic athlete, becoming the best weightlifter in the U.S. and how she overcame the challenges that many unsponsored athletes face.
Just prior to the start of the 2012 Olympic Games, , a New York-based ad tech company, stepped in to sponsor Sarah and alleviate some of the financial burden.
Weightlifter Sarah Robles is the highest ranked weightlifter in the country placing 7th at this year's Olympics.
Sarah can lift more than 568 pounds -- that's the equivalent of lifting LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony and Gabby Douglas together.
As a female heavyweight weightlifter, Sarah does not fit the mold for the typical Olympic media darling, which makes it difficult to attract lucrative sponsorship deals.
Sarah struggles to live off of the $400 a month that she receives from the U.S. Olympic Committee, and is unable to take on a job due to her rigorous training regime that is necessary to pursue her Olympic dream.
Monday, August 20 through Friday, August 31, 2012
