Yesterday TeamGB Emily Campbell Brownskinjessie made history as she became Britain's first weightlifter to win in 37 years. But is there a barrier stopping more women entering the sport? We talk to Sam Prynn, co-owner of strongherwomen
All eyes were on Laurel Hubbard at yesterday's women's Olympic weightlifting. That's because she's the first transgender athlete to compete in the Games, but it was Team GB's Emily Campbell who made history.

We talk about women and weightlifting with Sam Prynn from StrongHer Gym.
