Austrian-German weightlifter Matthias Steiner is a one-of-a-kind fighter. Steiner was married in 2005 to his wife Susan, his biggest supporter. Steiner then decided it was time to retire from weightlifting, but she pushed him to continue.
Steiner promised to compete in the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, but then tragedy struck. Susan passed away in a car crash in 2007 before the games began.
Instead of stopping, Matthias made the bold decision to honor his wife through competition. He trained even harder, focused intently, and won the Gold by lifting more than he had ever lifted before. It's an incredible display of emotion, pride, and love.
This year's Helen Rollason award goes to Rob Burrow 🏆
