Dutch Junior powerlifter Betty Aborah has been in motion on the platform, participating within the Koninklijke Nederlandse Krachtsport en Fitnessbond (KNKF) Dutch Junior Nationals on May 12, 2024. She has made waves with some colossal deadlifts in training, and took this chance to prove that she could do it on the platform when it counted.
Aborah had a terrific meet overall, going nine for nine and picking quite a few national records. The final lift was something special — an unofficial International Powerlifting Federation (IPF) Junior world record of 228 kilograms. Take a take a look at the lift below, courtesy of Aborah’s Instagram page:
Aborah deadlifts with a large sumo stance and employs a hook grip, where the fingers wrap across the thumb and pin it against the barbell. These techniques suit her leverages well, as evidenced by her rapidly improving deadlift.
Using only a lifting belt to help her, Aborah shook out her arms and set her foot position rigorously. Once the pull began, the bar moved easily to lockout, with only a slight tremble of the left leg, telegraphing the required effort.
The referees awarded Aborah three white lights. She walked away the Junior national champion via perfect performance.
The current Junior deadlift world record within the 63KG class is 216 kilograms, set by Samantha Eugenie of France on the 2022 IPF Junior World Championships in Turkiye. However, this record seems to only stand until Aborah competes internationally.
Aborah stated on social media that she wouldn’t go all out at this meet. Nevertheless, she got inside 10 kilograms of the Junior squat and Junior total world records and exceeded the Junior deadlift world record by 12 kilograms. This class’s Open deadlift world record is simply three kilograms away.
Aborah is on the roster for the Euro Muscle Show in Amsterdam, Netherlands, in July 2024 — a Junior powerlifting contest at the center of a strength sports expo, with a sanction for IPF world records. It could possibly be a terrific opportunity for Aborah to assert a world record before heading to Malta in August for the 2024 IPF Junior World Championships.
With her current rate of improvement, Aborah looks set to grow to be a powerlifting star of the longer term. The total she has achieved here would have given her fifth place on the 2023 World Open Classic Powerlifting Championships, so she isn’t far off already. The 63KG class is now on notice — Aborah is on her way.
