She became interested in weightlifting when her daughter Jeanne became interested in the sport. Living in Yukon, in the far north of Canada, proved limiting to Jeanne's chosen sport so Moira devoted herself to a mountain of grant applications, policy and bylaw work, coaching as well as technical aspects of weightlifting. Moira left no weightlifting stone unturned. Jeanne Lassen went on to become an Olympian and multiple world medallist. In this exclusive interview Competition Manager Moira talks of her role, her love of Glasgow and women in sport.
