Chapon’s strength greatness continues to be a marvel.
Tiffany Chapon has done it again, not that anyone in strength sports is probably going surprised. In the course of the 2023 International Powerlifting Federation (IPF) World Classic Powerlifting Championships, the French superstar powerlifter scored a raw 99.5-kilogram (219.3-pound) bench press on her top lift. The mark is an IPF World Record within the 47-kilogram weight class. The athlete wore only a lifting belt and wrist wraps to assist along with her accomplishment.
Chapon’s bench press IPF World Record surpasses Nataliya Cheremenko’s previous mark of 99 kilograms (218.2 kilos). Cheremenko achieved that milestone on the 2022 European Powerlifting Federation (EPF) European Classic Powerlifting Championships in November 2022. Chapon has now officially eclipsed her peer by half a kilogram (1.1 kilos). Thanks partly to her bench press record within the raw 47-kilogram class, Chapon successfully scored her third consecutive IPF World title (2021-2023) and an iconic “three-peat” in the identical category. The 2023 IPF Worlds are going down on June 11-18, 2023, in Valletta, Malta.

At just 21 years old, French powerlifter Tiffany Chapon might already be one in every of the most important names in powerlifting. Beyond her IPF World titles, the powerlifter holds various World Records outside of her bench press to supply credence to that elite standing as a competitor.
Per the official IPF database, Chapon currently owns the 47-kilogram division’s IPF raw squat World Record (161 kilograms/354.9 kilos), the IPF raw bench press World Record (99.5 kilograms/219.3 kilos), and the IPF raw total World Record (428.5 kilograms/944.6 kilos). Chapon is just missing out on the IPF raw deadlift World Record within the 47-kilogram class on account of the elite pulling power of her friendly rival, Heather Connor.
Here’s an summary of the highest stats from Chapon’s latest marvelous performance on a sanctioned lifting platform:
