Almost one year ago, Jenny Arthur inspired Hall County residents as a member of the U.S. Olympic weightlifting team in Rio de Janeiro. In the time since then, though, her influence has reached a much larger audience. Arthur has followed her sixth-place finish at the 2016 Summer Games with a series of weightlifting seminars across the country alongside her boyfriend and coach Norik Vardanian, who was an Olympian for Armenia in 2012.
