Joya Khairallah (52 KG) Captures Two Junior World Records: 183.5-Kilogram (404.5-Pound) Deadlift and 428.5-Kilogram (944.7-Pound) Total

Her World Record deadlift led to a World Record total.

52-kilogram powerlifter Joya Khairallah had a big day at the 2023 International Powerlifting Federation (IPF) World Junior and Sub-Junior Championships on Aug. 29 in Cluj-Napoca, Romania. Khairallah finished her performance at the meet with a deadlift of 183.5kg (404.5 pounds), which broke the IPF Junior World Record for that lift in her weight class.

Beyond that, she also achieved a total of 428.5 kilograms (944.7 pounds), which also set an IPF Junior World Record. The world-class performance secured Khairallah a gold medal victory in the contest.

More from Breaking Muscle:

Khairallah took a semi-sumo stance behind the barbell and placed her hands on the bar just inside of her shins. She began the pull and immediately cleared her knees. She appeared to have some trouble reaching lockout, but she did successfully complete the lift and screamed with pride upon doing so.

She returned the barbell to the floor after receiving the judge’s command, and she saw that the lift was called good. Khairallah took a knee to celebrate, then ran off the platform. The only equipment she wore besides her singlet was a weight belt.

The records may have come a surprise to spectators after her performance throughout the contest. Khairallah failed to complete her first and third squat attempts, and she did not take her third attempt in the bench press. Still, with only six finished lifts (one in the squat, two in the bench press, and all three deadlifts), she put on an elite performance.
