Sorry I have to disagree on the age. If she was truly 15, we would heard or read about her precocity.
It’ll be easier to believe if she was a footballer but at 15! She has already developed all the muscles and physique necessary to execute the ‘snatch’ and the ‘clean and jerk’ techniques in weightlifting!!

We are not talking of lifting a 50kg or a bag of cement here but lifting a set of bells and har above head with the squats, straightening up withthose monsters above her without her young spines and shoulders not giving way!!

I don’t believe that the girl in that photo is anything less than 20.
