Powerlifter Samantha Eugenie (69kg/20years) squatted 200kg!

There are countless young athletes around the world who are lifting incredible weights for various disciplines. But it is French triathlete Samantha Eugenie, who only turns 21 this year, who excels in the deadlift. During her career, Samantha has managed to set a new IPF Junior Raw Deadlift World Record at the IPF Sub-Junior and Junior Powerlifting World Championships.

Eugenie did just that with a performance of 216 kilograms (476.2 pounds), 6 kilograms (13.2 pounds) more than the previous record held by Bernardi Chiara. She pulled off a deadlift of 210 kilograms (463 pounds) at the 2021 IPF World Classic Powerlifting Championships.

To be honest, I'm not proud of my performance. I did a lower total than my last test and I know why. I'll do my best to make sure it doesn't happen again. I'm not proud of my total, but I am proud of my title. The main goal was to win and I did.

She assessed her performance after the race.

In a recent video on her Instagram, Samantha posted a video in which she squatted an incredible 200kg at 69kg for a back squat!

I know it's not perfect, I was scared, but I'm proud of myself because it's a big step for me. During the warm up I met one of my teachers at university who I have a lot of respect for, he told me to believe in my ability and I think I felt like I was growing wings. Now I just have to work harder to get this load 100%.
