Weightlifting careeredit
She has competed at five world championships and five European Senior Championships. She was the first British person to win the European u23 Championships in 2015. She competed in the 2014 and 2018 Commonwealth Games representing England and won the silver medal at the 2018 Games. Davies started weightlifting in September 2011 and made her international debut after just two and a half years of training in the sport.
In November 2021, Davies became the first British person to win a World silver medal by taking silver in the clean and jerk as well as the total.
On 12 April 2022, Davies was sanctioned by British Weight Lifting after she admitted she had made comments of a racial discriminatory nature against a fellow athlete. As part of the sanction, Davies was deselected from representing Great Britain & England for a period of three months, which included the 2022 European Weightlifting Championships held in Tirana, Albania. BWL also called for Davies to resign from her role as Chair of the International Weightlifting Federation's Athletes' Commission with immediate effect.[4] Davies has since stepped down from her position as chair of the IWF Athletes' Commission.[5]
