Description
Lydia Valentín recounts her career as a weightlifter, sharing the highs and lows of her journey to the top. With unflinching honesty, she describes the world of elite sport with precision and intimacy.
In 2015, Lydia faced a setback that would change the course of her life. Just three years after returning from the London Olympics with a historic fourth-place finish for Spanish weightlifting, she found herself struggling to compete due to an ongoing injury. As the Rio Games approached, Lydia's hopes of redemption seemed within reach - but another obstacle lay in wait.
With characteristic candour, Lydia recounts the moment when everything fell apart: 'I wake up terrified, staring at my reflection in the bathroom mirror and trying to hold back a scream of despair. I feel like I'm staring into an abyss.' This was just the beginning of a journey that would take her to the depths of darkness - but also reveal itself as the start of something new.
