  CENTRAL ONSLOW, N.S. For Olympic style weightlifter Amanda Thompson, watching a Canadian woman win gold in the sport in Tokyo early Tuesday morning, was emotional. I think it s huge for our sport, I think it s hopefully going to inspire a lot of young girls to get involved not even with our sport, but sport in general, says Thompson. The 31-year-old started weightlifting seven years ago, a late newcomer to the sport, exactly like gold medal winner Maude Charron. I, too, was exposed to the sport through cross fit, says Thompson, and then just started to fall in love with the sport itself and definitely haven t looked back!
