Finding my way to Olympic weightlifting ft. Wanda Diao
from That's Debatable · host Sharon Lin
Growing up in Taiwan as a kid, I seldom felt that women were encouraged to be strong and do weight lifting. Beauty standards back in the day, and honestly, in current times have been disappointing to say the least. Nowadays, it’s wonderful to see more women working out, staying strong, and doing weightlifting. In this episode, you’ll hear from Wanda Diao, who’s been doing Olympic weightlifting as a hobby for around 5 years. Wanda is also vegetarian. What was the spark for Wanda to step into the world of weightlifting? What are some misconceptions about being vegetarian while aiming to stay strong? My guest is not a professional athlete or a nutritionist and will be sharing from her personal experience. Let’s get started. Follow Wanda on Instagram @wanda_wanerh
