Emily will share her inspiring journey to the 2024 Olympics and how it has shaped her mission to Make the Nation Stronger. Growing up in a deprived area and navigating her Olympic path without funding, Emily champions her community, recognising the vital role local support has played in her success. She also brings first-hand insights into the transformative benefits of strength training and physical activity. During her fireside chat, Emily will explore her three key pillars: 1️⃣ Increasing participation in weightlifting. 2️⃣ Promoting female body empowerment. 3️⃣ Developing opportunities for children and young people.
