Great piece in the Guardian about Rebecca Roberts, the world's strongest woman.

Bloody hell she’s incredible!

I saw that this morning and was blown away. What a resilient and inspirational woman!

Thanks for posting this OP.
I knew nothing of the sport or of Rebecca. But what an inspiration, despite all the hardship.

I saw her on that Will and Ralf programme on Dave and was impressed with her, but I had no idea about her full background. She's gone through so many awful experiences but shows such positivity - as you say, inspirational.

Thanks for posting about her - she’s incredible!

Wow, it was all so sad. But then what happened to her partner (and her) was like a blow from the side. She's amazing and part of her success is his legacy.

Not a sport I’ve ever even noted tbh, let alone followed - but I will now. Well Rebecca anyway. World’s Strongest Woman indeed. Once I got to the bit where she met Paul I thought, awww brilliant I’m so pleased for her! Didn’t see the next bit coming 😔. Amazing woman you are, Rebecca!

What grit and determination. Life has certainly been challenging but I'm so pleased she's going from strength to strength (pun sort of intended).
