Expectations are high that a member of the U.S. women’s weightlifting team could win gold at the Olympics. And among the team’s most promising athletes is 21-year-old Olivia Reeves.
It’s tucked away in an industrial park and you could easily miss it. That is, except for the big white banner that hangs over the front door, with five interlocking Olympic rings in the center and Reeves’ name right beneath them.

We're knocking on the door of world records.
In competition, athletes get three attempts at each lift. Their heaviest snatch and heaviest clean and jerk combined makes up their total. And the lifter with the highest total wins. “And either path is totally OK,” Reeves’ mom, Amber, recalls telling her daughter. “It was, you know, led by her desire at that point.”
