In a hilarious interview, Olympic gold medalist Michelle Carter appeared on Netflix's "Chelsea" talkshow, where she spoke with Chelsea Handler about winning the shot put in Rio. "The Shot Diva" taught Handler a thing or two about track and field. 

Handler started the interview by showing the audience a photo of the American record-holder in the shot put ring, and asked her to explain the photo. 

"It's called 'the glide'--it's where you set yourself up in the ring, and you push backwards to throw the shot put in the sector, so I'm just setting myself up in a good power position so I can use all my strength in my legs to throw the shot as far as I can," Carter said. 

Handler then asked, "How did you find out at a young age that you're good at something like that?"

Carter explained she started in seventh grade, and was already beating everyone else, so she figured she'd stick with it. She has competed in three Olympics and is the first American woman to ever win a gold medal in the shot put at the Olympic Games. 



Carter also described her weight room routine, which includes lifting "315 or 425" on the bar to squat. The audience clapped in amazement. 

"I enjoy what I do and I have fun," she said. 

Carter's father, Michael, works as her coach and owns an Olympic silver medal from the 1984 Olympics. 

"Do you rub it in his face?" Handler asked. 

"Of course I do! I'm like, 'You know what, Daddy? Now I have something you don't have, an Olympic gold [laughs]," Carter said. 

Carter also got a chance to talk about body image and her belief that everyone's body is made for a specific purpose, no matter the size.

"I have accepted what my body is made for. I'm bigger than the average woman, and I'm OK with that. I found out what I'm good at, what clothes make me look good, what make-up and hair makes me feel good, and I'm going to do me the best way I can," she said.
