Charlotte, known as Lottie, was discovered as a potential powerlifting success when she was competing at the National Dwarf Games in 2019.

After two years of training, she made her international debut at the 2021 World Junior Championships, where she came away with a silver medal and then went on to collect a bronze in the Manchester Powerlifting World Cup.

A former swimmer, who was inspired by Ellie Simmonds’ feats in the pool, Lottie wears an ankle bracelet and taps her foot eight times while on the bench before she lifts.

Away from powerlifting, Lottie is a big animal lover who owns livestock with two cats, dogs, ducks and goats in her home of the Yorkshire Dales.
