Mangold, 22, initially made headlines as the first high school girl in Ohio to play for a state title in football and for having a famous brother. She later went to Ursuline College on a track scholarship, but the discus and shot put eventually gave way to lifting.

Interesting and good for her.....I mean being heavy set may hurt her in the long run. However in that particular sport, one would need alot of body mass to bring it up and hold it there for certain amount of time. It is nice to see people competing in a sport that doesn't require them to be in top physical shape(slim).

yes, it's actually Track and Field. My son throws discus and javelin (Field events) in HS.
Her brother, Nick Mangold, is the center for the NY Jets -- she's bigger than he is!

I spent 7 years and change in Japan - difficult to avoid seeing them in ads, on TV, etc.
It's called a "mawashi".

Frankly, it's one of the few foreign sports where there's so much more than meets the eye. I was always fascinated by it.
