In 1902 Brumbach defeated the famous strongman Eugen Sandow in a weightlifting contest in New York City. Katie lifted a weight of 300 pounds over her head, which Sandow managed to lift only to his chest. After this victory, she adopted the stage name “Sandwina” as a feminine derivative of Sandow.

What a power move lol

I jokingly refer to my weightlifting shoes as heels. Hey, they’ve got ~18mm heels!
