How about an interview?

I will try my best. My English is very bad.

Why did you start training for this event and why do you like it?

I don’t like rolling thunder very much. I like the Saxon Bar more. This implement is not my favorite. I started training 4 years ago. I came 10 kg more than I started. It is going up very slowly. My personal record is 62 kg (136.687 pounds). I am very tired. We had a long flight from Finland.

Sidebar: Marja lifted 57.5 kg (126.766 pounds) in the Rolling Thunder.

Did you come in yesterday?

Wednesday. (Two days prior)

Sidebar: Fight from Finland then compete? A search on the internet listed a flight from Finland is about 7 hours 50 minutes. Ummmmn jet lag then lift heavy stuff two days later. Remarkable. I would have been somewhere sleep.

What is your training secret?

My job is milking cows. I am from the countryside.

So, you are a farm girl? Farm strong!

Yes.
