Aneela Rose Wins World Powerlifting Silver After Qualifier Setback
Asian Mum Wins World Powerlifting Silver for Great Britain · easterneye.biz

Aneela Rose is a British powerlifter and mother of two.

She recently won a silver medal at a world championship.

She lifted a total of 247.5 kilograms in her class.

Five months earlier, she had failed all three squat attempts at a competition.

She thought about quitting after that disappointment.

Instead, she returned to another qualifier and lifted enough to continue.

Rose later won silver at the British Championships and earned a place on Team GB.

She says her story shows that people can become stronger and try new things as they get older.
