SILVER & GOALS

OLYMPIC medallist Emily Campbell is aiming to turn silver into gold this summer.

But the Paris-bound weightlifting star says she is equally determined to speak out around body image issues and encourage the next generation to follow in her footsteps.

Nottingham-based Campbell was second to Chinese superstar Li Wenwen in Tokyo three years ago.

The Brit has since won four str top of a Commonwealth gold and will expect to be on the podium again in August.

And that, the 29-year-old hopes, will give her a platform to ramp up her community work.
