In a recent video posted on Instagram, the eight-year-old girl is seen lifting 60 kg. In another video posted on the Instagram account managed by her father, Goswami said that she draws inspiration from Olympic medalist Mirabai Chanu. “I love weightlifting and enjoy it a lot. Today I am the youngest weightlifter 🏋️‍♀️ in the country. I am inspired by @mirabai_chanu and tomorrow when I grow up, I too want to win a gold medal for India. #StrongHer @cry_india,” read the caption.

Goswami is also interested in taekwondo and powerlifting. It all began when she joined her father who is a certified fitness trainer, during his regular workout session. In six months, she began deadlifting and at the age of six, she lifted 45 kg. She also won a bronze medal at state-level weightlifting competition. “At 8, i’m a living proof that age is just a number,” read the text insert in the clip shared by Humans of Bombay.

Instagram users were inspired by the clip showing the girl lifting 60 kg. A user commented, “Incredible strength.” Another user wrote, ” Braveness in u eyes always make me inspire Thq u.” A third user commented, “Outstanding Performance good bacche keep it up.”
