Powerlifter Samantha Eugenie (69KG) Breaks 2 IPF World Records at 2023 French Junior Nationals

Powerlifter Samantha Eugenie (69KG) Breaks 2 IPF World Records at 2023 French Junior Nationals

Some young powerlifters take time to find their groove and get comfortable on a sanctioned lifting platform. It’s an understandable struggle to figure out what works and hone in on one’s strengths. Such a descriptor does not seem to apply to the 20-year-old Samantha Eugenie.

On Apr. 8, 2023, during the 2023 Fédération Française de Force (FFForce) Junior Nationals, Eugenie set two International Powerlifting Federation (IPF) raw Junior World Records in a first-place performance in the 69-kilogram weight class. The first mark was a 220.5-kilogram (486.1-pound) deadlift, achieved by Eugenie on her final pull of the contest. The second IPF raw Junior World Record was Eugenie’s final triumphant total of 515.5 kilograms (1,136.4 pounds). The marks are official because the FFForce is under the IPF’s jurisdiction.

Eugenie’s raw Junior World Record accomplishments are so impressive, they eclipsed the reigning 69-kilogram IPF Junior World Champion in the record books.

The athlete’s deadlift is more than Clara Peyraud’s previous record of 218 kilograms (480.6 pounds) from the 2022 European Powerlifting Federation (EPF) European Classic Powerlifting Championships by 2.5 kilograms (5.5 pounds). Eugenie’s Junior record total also leapfrogs Peyraud’s past number, who notched a total of 510.5 kilograms (1,136.4 pounds) at the same European contest.

Peyraud captured her first 69-kilogram Junior world title in August 2022. Eugenie is a defending Junior World champion herself, but in the 63-kilogram division. In only her second-ever appearance as a 69-kilogram competitor, it’s clear Eugenie is already on par with its best Junior athletes.

In addition to her IPF raw Junior World Records, Eugenie scored an all-time raw competition best bench press of 110 kilograms (242.5 pounds) and back squat of 185 kilograms (407.8 pounds). Here’s an overview of the top stats from the athlete’s overall performance:
