Colombian weightlifter Maria Isabel Urrutia. (elvocerodelaprovincia.com, 12 Aug 2015)

She shouts different things before lifting. "One shout is 'haya sana'. It's not from any language, it just helps me connect with the sport, with the bar. The other one I say is 'yayo', which is what I used to call my brother who is no longer with us. It's just that, it's not a strange language, they are words and phrases that mean a lot to me."
