Three questions, if I may!

  1. I see on your Team USA Profile Page that you want to coach one day. At what point do you think you will stop weight lifting and move to coaching? Will it be easy for you to get a coaching job as an Olympic athlete?

  2. This BuzzFeed article discusses the living conditions that you are in and how you are not heavily sponsored like other Olympic athletes. Is there anything that can make weightlifting more popular in America, as it is in many other countries across the world?

  3. Your Wikipedia page mentions that you have an arm deformity known as Madelung's deformity . How has this affected your lifting?

Thanks for taking the time to answer our questions! Best of luck at the Olympics!

Thanks for doing this AMA and for representing America in the Olympics!

Do you ever feel like people are skeptical towards your involvement in a sport that most people associate with men? What do you believe the best way to combat that viewpoint is?
