Some photos from the World Single Lift Championship 2023

Posted on by

My younger son Felix Strong competed at the World Drug Free Single Lift Championship in Sardinia on 2-4 June this year. My previous post included videos of his three lifts for squat, bench press and deadlift. He competed in the 16-17 year age category (T2) and the <82.5 kg weight category and set a new world record of 260 kg for the deadlift, and two Swiss records for the squat (180 kg) and bench  press (115 kg).

We also purchased some photos taken by a professional photographer, Luca Antonio Piga, and I’ve posted some of them below.
