You’ll never know when a Japanese girl can lift you like a piece of cake.
Meet Elle Hatamiya, an 11-year-old weightlifter, gymnast and martial artist from California.
Elle is the USA Weightlifting National Champion in two age brackets (11U + 13U at 31 kg). She lifts 1.5 times her weight during regular front squats, 88rising said.
Elle also won the State Champion on Beam and Floor for Level 5 gymnastics.
When time permits, Elle immerses herself in Cuong Nhu, a form of Vietnamese martial arts.
Elle has 19.4K followers on Instagram, where her mom regularly posts her workout and training clips. She has a blog and a YouTube channel, too.
That being said, Elle reminds us how Japanese girls are always better at something.
You go, Elle!
