During the 2023 International Powerlifting Federation (IPF) World Classic Powerlifting Championships<\/a>, Karlina Tongotea scored a 225.5-kilogram (497.1-pound) raw back squat<\/a><\/strong>. The mark is an official IPF World Record in the 76-kilogram division<\/strong>, where Tongotea eventually came out victorious ahead of notable peers like Agata Sitko<\/a> and former two-time defending champion (2021-2022) Jessica Buettner<\/a>. Tongotea broke her own squat record of 223.5 kilograms (492.7 pounds) from the 2023 Sheffield Powerlifting Championships<\/a> by 2 kilograms (4.4 pounds).<\/p>\n

Tongotea wore a lifting belt<\/a> and knee sleeves, and utilized wrist wraps to help herself rewrite the IPF record books with her squat. That equipment qualifies as raw in a sanctioned powerlifting context. The 2023 IPF Worlds took place in Valletta, Malta, from June 11-18, 2023. The 2023 edition of the contest was Tongotea’s debut at the prestigious competition, and she made the most of this initial appearance by winning her first IPF World title<\/strong>. <\/p>\n
