Para Powerlifting
The Ultimate Test of Strength
Para powerlifting is the ultimate test of strength with athletes lifting up to three times their own bodyweight!
Competitions are exciting battles with athletes striving to lift more than others in their bodyweight category, showcasing amazing feats of power, technique and focus, and highlighted by intense and dramatic moments of anticipation waiting for the lift decision and the euphoria of success or agony of failure.
Para powerlifting is one of the fastest growing sports in the Paralympic Movement and is being practised in over one hundred countries across all regions.
