Para-Powerlifting 24 Jul 2026

Para-powerlifting promises to be one of the highlights of the 2026 Games as it was at Birmingham 2022. The sport sees competitors outdoing each other by lying on their backs and lifting heavier and heavier weights straight up above their chest - sometimes managing weights up to 3 times their own body weight! On the Commonwealth stage, it debuted in 2002.

Para-powerlifting has seen its stock rise in recent years, and it has quickly become a must-see para-sport, as more and more fans become aware of the strength, control, and mental confidence necessary to complete lifts that defy the laws of physics!
