The USA men's Olympic weightlifting team has not won a gold medal for 56 years, but that could change rather quickly thanks to C.J. Cummings. Cummings is 5'4" and 150lbs. Last August he clean and jerked 385lbs, something that had never been done in his weight class. Oh, he's also only 15 years old. Coaches say that he is about 10 years away from reaching his highest potential and another 4 years before his first Olympics. C.J. Cummings. Remember that name because I'm sure you'll be hearing it in another 4 years.
