RAF powerlifter dreaming of Olympics after dominant Inter Services performance

Watch: Who walked away from RAF Cosford with bragging rights after the Inter Services powerlifting championships?

An RAF powerlifter is hoping to make her Olympic dreams come true after seeing her sporting career continue to rise.

Air Specialist Class 1 Lucy Robinson has been involved with powerlifting since she was 14 and has already competed at four World Championships during her seven years in the sport.

This year's Inter Services saw another dominant display from AS1 Robinson as she helped the RAF to win the women's team title, but the powerlifter's goal is to be on the biggest stage.

"Potentially, Powerlifting will make it to the Olympics. That is my personal goal," she said.

"I've always wanted to be an Olympian."

Meanwhile, the men's Inter Services competition saw the Army reclaim the trophy - and you can watch the best of the action in our video above.
