Here is a video clip of Olympic weightlifter Melanie Roach. In the 2008 Beijing Olympics, the 33 year-old wife and mother of three placed 6th in the 53 kg weight division (about 117 lbs), and she is also the first American woman to clean and jerk twice her own bodyweight. In this clip, she clean and jerks 112 kg (about 246 lbs).
