The Powerlifting Granny

Documentary. Although Libby only took up powerlifting as a hobby two years before competing, she has won medals for Northern Ireland and Team GB at Commonwealth, European and world level.

Meet Libby, the 51-year-old powerlifting world champion from Belfast.

Although Libby only took up powerlifting as a hobby two years before competing, her ability to challenge herself has driven her to both Northern Ireland and Team GB at Commonwealth, European and world level.

As she prepares for the upcoming Commonwealth Powerlifting Championship, recent health concerns, her age, risk of injury and the need to be self-funded are all potential obstacles in her way.

Following the passing of her mother, Libby has been motivated by the support of her family, friends and local community.
