ZOE’s JOURNEY TO WORLDS

Eyes on Worlds. Heart on the Commonwealth Games.

This story follows Zoe, a young weightlifter whose journey has been shaped as much by faith and resilience as by raw strength. From feeling different as a child to discovering her calling through CrossFit and weightlifting, Zoe’s story is one of determination and self-belief.

Through injury setbacks, battles with anxiety, and the relentless grind of elite sport, she has forged not just an athlete’s body, but a mindset rooted in authenticity and spirit. In competition, when the stage falls silent, Zoe finds herself grounded in her faith — it’s not just her and the bar, but her and the Holy Spirit.

Beyond the medals and numbers, Zoe is driven by a deeper purpose: to redefine how weightlifting is trained, to inspire others through her example, and to be remembered not for records, but for how she treats people. Her journey is a reminder that the process is the point, and true strength lies in living with belief.
