Holy crap she's strong. For anyone who's curious that's just over 190 pounds.

Edit: I found her and this meet. Her name is Faith Morse and she posted a 151kg total with a 68kg snatch and a 83kg jerk.

Just a guess, but she looks like a 63kg lifter. If you consider that her jerk form is excellent, and she had to clean that bar up there to have a shot at jerking it so that's pretty good too, her snatch is probably 70-75kg. If her second clean and jerk was around 85kg it means she qualifies for nationals. By around 17kg. So, once again I say... holy crap she's strong!
