Powerlifting career

edit

Winroth broke a world record for lifting 190 kilograms in a deadlift at the age of 16. This was unofficial, however, as it took place during a training session.[2] Videos of Winroth powerlifting went viral on YouTube.[3] In February 2016, she repeated the feat in a competition, therefore becoming the official world record holder for deadlift.[4]

Personal life

edit

Winroth was diagnosed with scoliosis from a young age.[5]
