Corrigan’s dominance is now known on a international level.
The 2023 Sheffield Powerlifting Championships saw seemingly countless records broken in various divisions. Unsurprisingly, superstar powerlifters like Amanda Lawrence led the best way. Evie Corrigan can add her name to the extensive list created in Sheffield, England, on Mar. 25, 2023.
Over the course of the Sheffield competition, the 52-kilogram Corrigan scored two raw International Powerlifting Federation (IPF) World Records. The primary was a deadlift of 202.5 kilograms (446.4 kilos). The second, at the competition’s end, was a 460-kilogram (1,014.3-pound) total.

Notably, Corrigan’s records might include a caveat. Fellow 52-kilogram athlete Jenn Rotsinger previously also deadlifted 202.5 kilograms (446.4 kilos) on the 2019 United States Powerlifting Association (USPA) The Tribute. Plus, Rotsinger’s total from the identical competition (465 kilogram/1,025.1 kilos) is five kilograms greater than Corrigan’s IPF raw World Record total.
That said, the USPA is organized by the International Powerlifting League (IPL), and doesn’t fall under the jurisdiction of the IPF. Rotsinger can claim the all-time raw deadlift and total World Records, but Corrigan stands alone within the 52-kilogram IPF class.
Here’s an outline of Corrigan’s top stats from the 2023 Sheffield Championships:

On Instagram, while thanking various people in her life, Corrigan had an apt response to her record-breaking performance.
“Boy have I got a story to inform, but I’ll wait for an extended type of content to share that,” Corrigan wrote. “What I’ll say is that although I knew there was technically a possibility I could win, we’d crunched the numbers, the actual result’s beyond my wildest dreams. I’m still shook.”
