Power lifter with Down Syndrome beats non-disabled athletes for gold​

Five foot two British power lifter, 33, with Down's Syndrome and heart defect beats non-disabled athletes to win double European gold after benching 90kg...​

At just 5ft2 and weighing 56kg (8st11lbs), the athlete has overcome tough odds - including two rounds of open-heart surgery - to compete at the highest level against non-disabled athletes

Determined Dan McGauley, 33, who was told he'd 'never achieve anything,' was already a world champion, four-times Commonwealth champion and British champion before his European debut earlier this month. Pictured with his mother

Wow very impressive and well done! This goes to show that people with Downs can do great things.

Is this for dramatics or did someone really tell him "he would never achieve anything"? Because that's messed up Also why does his mom look just like a 35lb Olympic plate?
