Teenager Allen Court has the world of weightlifting at his feet.

The Oldbury-based youngster is the National Under 16 Champion for weightlifting despite weighing just 7st 12lbs.

Allen said: “When I entered my first competition, one year after I started training, I became hooked and from then on I made sure I qualified for each competition.”

The Perryfields High School pupil showed video journalist Victoria Hoe how to lift mega weights - and she turned her hand to the challenge.
