There has been a huge uptick in interest in the sport of weightlifting because of crossfit. Hampton Morris was our first US male Olympics medalist since the 1960s, and Olivia Reeves won gold.
I think for sports like weightlifting talent is pulled away by professional sports. You could go to the Olympics, or you could go play for an NFL team.
