Tiffany Chapon is just 21 years old, but she is already a two-time World and European Champion. She also has numerous records of all kinds under her belt and is still aiming for a few more.
Consequently, if she continues to win these International titles like she has been able to do for the past two years, then she just might be able to create what could be the greatest powerlifting resume in the history of this sport.
