Lee Winroth (born 2 September 1998) is a Swedish footballer and weightlifter. In football, she plays as a forward for Sundsvall.

Powerlifting career[edit]

Winroth broke a world record for lifting 190 kilograms in a deadlift at the age of 16. This was unofficial, however, as it took place during a training session.[1] Videos of Winroth powerlifting went viral on YouTube.[2] In February 2016, she repeated the feat in a competition, therefore becoming the official world record holder for deadlift.[3]

Personal life[edit]

Winroth was diagnosed with scoliosis from a young age.[4]
