When Lucy Garland first told her parents she wanted try out wrestling, they didn't think she was serious.

But now the petite blonde, at only 5ft 5ins tall, takes on men in the ring who are more than twice her age and size.

The 17-year-old started training just one year ago but has already progressed to a competitive level.

她说，当人们听说自己在摔跤场上的第二重生活时，总是显得惊讶不已。

'People are always quite surprised when I tell them I'm a wrestler,' she says.'My parents didn't think I would stick at it as I was the only girl at the club, but now they are very supportive and really proud.'
“当我告诉人们我是一个摔跤手，人们总是会惊讶不已。”她说。“我是俱乐部里唯一的女生，我的父母起初并不相信我能坚持下来，但是现在他们很支持我，也非常为我骄傲。”

Lucy says she is devoted to her craft, and trains once a week, working out at the gym six days a week and sticking to a strict diet in order to keep up with professional standards.
露西说她对自己的这门技术非常刻苦用功，为了能够达到专业水平，她每周训练一次，每周六天去健身房锻炼，坚持采用非常严格的饮食标准。
