First Off, Wonderful Episode!! At the 7:00 minute time frame It is very interesting to listen to Steve, who I have met and spoken with in the past years ago, and then recently speaking with Olivia at her training camp on June 1 in St. Louis & seeing the issues that she was running into on the snatch & how they analyze it and work on overcoming that particular issue. Just that part could be a great 1/2 hr to hour show on how the lift results change depending upon so many factors and body dynamics. The Public generally does not get to see the Adversity that both an athlete and a coach go through. We always see the results for a few brief seconds from the years and sometimes decades of work that is put into it. That is why Olympic Weightlifting is the pinnacle of the most difficult sports to perfect. It demands years of physical toil to condition the body, deep psychological altruism to keep your mind focused without becoming paralyzed from analysis paralysis. There are so many different levels and dynamics that come into play on each lift that even most people & athletes really never start to consider but are the merciless questions that a coach has to consistently review and consider. This topic could be a channel of its own with interviews with both coaches and athletes to help others gain insight, clarity and understanding of how the process goes over time. Thank You Again for such a Wonderful Presentation!🙏⚡️💥🏋️♂️💫✨🥇🏆😁

Thank you so much for putting this series together. I have enjoyed watching each episode and greatly appreciate the quality and the storytelling you all did. And with access you had to really go with the athletes and coaches, it was cool to see things from their view. I would continue to watch any more episodes or series you put out. Mad props to the athletes for doing what they did!

One thing to think about, Olivia is the only living American that has had the National Anthem played for them in the Olympics for Weightlifting. Think of how many millions of people not only in the country but I have come and gone since our last gold medalist, she is an outstanding representative of hard work and humility for Weightlifting! Thank You Very Much for this presentation!🙏🙏🏋️♂️

So much talent so many guts so much passion emotion work I don’t know how else to put it our female weightlifting team is showing off to the rest of the world. Kate Vibert laid the groundwork for Olivia and than Olivia killed it when she got the chance. Sport a celebration of youth and strength a celebration of life and sadly it comes to an end. An end of an Era and a beginning of a new one 😭🥰💪🏼🇺🇸

Well done to all the women involved in this series: they have been inspirational. Well done to the documentary makers for showing the highs and lows of the sport and giving people an idea of what goes on behind the scenes. I've enjoyed every episode and send the link to new/ prospective lifters to give them an idea of how the sport works. Thank you.

You've got to love Olivia Reeves. All these ladies are simply amazing. There's something about Reeves's attitude that makes her a fun lifter to watch.

This entire series has been great. So proud of these ladies for allowing us to follow along on this journey. Thank you so much for everyone involved. I wish we could see more content like this for weightlifting to get the sport more attention and to grow the sport even more.

I love it. One question to the filmmakers though: I notice a higher shutter speed than the 180⁰ rule throughout the film. Was that a stylistic choice or did you film in 60fps/120shutter and then put it in a 23.976 timeline? Thanks anyway for this beautiful piece.
@Write952 ай бұрын
Thank you so much! And thanks for asking about this. So, I always shoot with the 180 degree rule, but while shooting training and competition, I favor shooting in 50 or 60 FPS (depending on the frequency I have to shoot for location - in this episode, mostly 50}. And it’s a stylistic choice. The lifts are so quick that I feel as though 24/25 FPS doesn’t really ever feel right. And then I always edit on a 24 FPS timeline, as all interviews and other non-lifting moments are shot at 24/25. Thank you for asking this question! I love getting in the nerdy side of things 🤓

A true legend right there, PYRROS DIMAS, he should be coaching an important men's team, ideally the Greek team, I expect to see at least an interview of him in this series.

I love when the coach said thats not weightlifting (getting lightheaded). Thats not the sport. Hes exactly right. Anyone who trains at the level of these women will not be unprepared for a standard lift.

not sure what 'unfair advantage ' means re other countries, but at the end of the day, its you and the bar, and if you want to finish top three at olympics, then you need to lift accordingly...just you and the bar...because everyone is on an equal footing unless they are doped..

Well duh. She had to opt out. She’ll only get worse and she’ll never rich her true and best potential if she kept competing thru her injuries
