World's Strongest 11-Year-Old: 'My Parents Aren't Forcing Me' | MY EXTRAORDINARY FAMILY
ROWAN O’Malley has broken world records in powerlifting… And he’s only 11 years old. He started competing when he was nine years old and in the powerlifting competition this year, he broke records with a 115kg squat, 135kg deadlift and 310kg total. Rowan said: “The feeling of getting a PB in powerlifting is amazing.” Despite Rowan’s hard work and achievements, his parents Ben and Gemma have faced judgement about their role as his parents. Gemma said: “We’ve had a few that have said ‘he needs to have a proper childhood’ and that really upsets us because Rowan is so busy, he does loads of amazing things.” Ben and Gemma are extremely proud of their son and assert they want to ensure he and his sister, Hettie, three, have amazing opportunities. Rowan added: “My parents are not pushy at all. They don’t push me to go to the gym, they don't push me to eat my protein. I want to do that myself. I know a lot of people think that they are pushy, but they're not. I push myself to be my best.”
