Canada's Maude Charron won Olympic gold for her country in the women's 64kg division at Tokyo 2020.

She lifted a total of 236 kilograms for glory in the Japanese capital.

Charron won a silver medal at the World Championships in 2017 and back-to-back overall golds at the Commonwealth Games in 2018 and 2022.

At the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games, she was named as Canada's co-flagbearer.

Aged seven, Charron said she wanted to take up weightlifting after seeing it in a film.

Her parents told her she was probably too short, but a coach said she had potential after she took up CrossFit.
