This 9-year-old Got Bullied At School. But 6 Months Later They All Fear Her.
#1
When Milla Bizzotto from Florida, USA, enters the training area and takes off her shirt, she means business.
#2
Although she is only 9 years old, when it comes to the obstacle course scene, she is already a real star. She is the youngest competitor, who has participated in the so-called "BattleFrog Xtreme" 24-hour race. The race is actually inspired by the American Elite Navy Seals, and has a lot of challenging obstacles.

The race consists of completing as many rounds as possible in 24 hours. And Milla is a participant - and the only person under 18!!

It all began 6 months ago when she was getting bullied at school. Milla, who already enjoyed going to the gym with her dad, started doing some serious training. And she learned to love it.
#5
Monday to Friday, she can be found at the gym. Her workouts last 3 hours and she now has multiple trainers and a sports doctor, who ensures that she doesn't over do it.
#6
And when her school peers see how strong and quick she is, the bullying soon stopped all by itself. This encouraged Milla to start up her own anti-mobbing campaign. By participating in the race, Milla wants to encourage other children to discover their true strength. She explains: "I do racing to inspire kids that they have a special side of them and to get them off the couch."
#7
Just like the Battle Frog. When she hears of a race, Milla wants to prove just how fit she really is. She mentally prepares herself because she will have to swim 8 km and run a 58 km track with more than 25 obstacles. Milla managed an impressive 6 rounds. Her dad is terribly proud of her! And she herself, is almost bursting with pride - and rightly so!

In any case, she is an impressive example of willpower and fitness. With her strength and conditioning, she'd easily outclass most adults. A real powerhouse!
