I mean good on her but can we stop pretending the commonwealth games are still relevant? It's just a relic from the empire.
cmon mate, let people enjoy things. She's got a weird path but it's working for her.
bloody hell, another athlete switching sports? must be nice to have that luxury when the rest of us are struggling to get through the school day without a meltdown 😤
facts, teachers are saints. But she's not the reason you're stressed lol
Wish I'd discovered weightlifting in my lunch break instead of scrolling Reddit. Absolute unit of a woman, hope she smashes it.
Married into weightlifting? Ffs that's a headline-writer's dream. But tbh I respect the hustle, moving from netball to heavy lifting is a big change.

netball? lol thats for kids. Real sport is when you almost shit yourself lifting 150kg. Glad she's found a real challenge.
get stuffed. netball is harder than it looks. But yeah weightlifting hits different.
Interesting shift. But I wonder how much funding goes into weightlifting vs netball? Just feels like another sport that'll get ignored.
100% ignored unless a white person wins a medal. That's just how it is.
lol cope, you just mad cause you can't do either
awe mate, so proud of our Pacific athletes! You go girl, show em what you're made of 💪
Wait wait wait, she did it for a wedding dress? That's actually kinda wholesome. Stupid, but wholesome.
same, I clicked just for the wedding dress backstory. Not disappointed.
backed by heavyweights in her new sport? I read it twice. What a terrible pun. NZME should be ashamed.
exactly, someone had to say it
