^^ those are super heavyweights. The ones below that special weight class are generally not fat.
Examples:

Generally female strength athletes are not the most appealing bunch, but outside of the SHWs, they are quite lean.
She's way heavier than most male powerlifters at about 5'6". She's 210lb, most male powerlifters would be around the 163 to 181lb at her height. I'm a male powerlifter at 5'7" and 157lb.
As a hammer thrower though, she benefits from having more mass even if it's fats. Male athletes in her sport are the same.
