Mitchell O'Shea may be a slightly built, softly spoken 12-year-old, but he can now lay claim to being one of the strongest kids in the country.
The Sunshine Coast school student set three Australian records in a new age and weight division for juniors at the recent Queensland Powerlifting Championships in Brisbane.
Mitchell lifted a record 80 kilograms in the deadlift, more than twice his 37.5kg body weight, holding the weight for several seconds to claim the title.
