Natalie Richards Total World Record

Natalie Richards rose onto the elite powerlifting scene a few months ago, having put up a Total heavier than 500 kilograms (1,102.3 pounds) for a new National Record. However, just a few months have passed since, and Natalie has already improved quite a bit. She displayed her new and improved shape at the 2023 IPF World Classic Open Powerlifting Championships, which are taking place from June 11-18, in Valletta, Malta. Despite making her debut, Natalie accumulated a Total of 512.5 kilograms (1,129.9 pounds), setting a new IPF World Record and winning the 57-kilogram weight class.

The previous U57KG IPF World Record holder was Jade Jacob, as the French representative put up a Total of 503.5 kilograms (1,110 pounds) at the 2023 IPF Sheffield Powerlifting Championships. She set this record just a few months ago and was thus the main favorite for the title at the 2023 IPF World Classic Open Powerlifting Championships. However, Natalie Richards outperformed everyone with her impressive performance, including Jade Jacob, who ended up in second place.
