Sisters of only female GB weightlifter: We're 'really proud'

The sisters of Team GB's only female weightlifter in the Rio Olympic Games have said they are "really proud" of her.

17-year-old Rebekah Tiler, from Todmorden in Yorkshire, finished fourth at the Commonwealth Games when she was just 15.

Her sisters, 13-year-old Sophie, 11-year-old Lisa and seven-year-old Emily are also keen weightlifters but their mum Emma can't "grasp the technique" the same way as her daughters.

Lisa told 5 live Breakfast's Nicky Campbell that competing at the Rio Olympics is a "once in a lifetime chance" for Rebekah.
