Hayley Reichert is a sweetheart. Dane Miller's been coaching her for several years. Occasionally in his coaching videos. Barely out of her teens, if that.

I can't find the video of the second girl I liked. And there was a LOT not to like. She's a lifter from "the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia". Ugly, lime-green singlet over a full body, ankles to neck, compression suit, I guess. Her "scarf" looked like and old school SCUBA suit hood only worse because it was large enough to accommodate her hair you aren't allowed to look at

Anyhow, she missed her 1st clean jerk. Goes back to wait for her next lift. Getting "encouragement" (looked like browbeating to me) from her coaches. Goes out and misses her 2nd clean and jerk. She really looked distraught. I'd have bet against her.

So her dumbass coaches are yacking in ear and you can tell she's getting pissed. So she gets up for her 3rd shot and they try giving her the weight belt and she basically gives them the and goes back out to the stage. She grabs the bar and power cleans it and jerks it.

I like that Nothing like copping a bad attitude to get something moving
