Ender Hypersonic June 19, 2017 Share June 19, 2017 (edited) Another meaningful world record by a Singaporean. Very proud of this type of record, as oppose to those goofy type, like longest satay, most people wear ballon hat. http://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/sport/powerlifting-singapore-teen-sets-new-sub-junior-squat-world-8958990 Powerlifting: Singapore teen sets new sub-junior squat world recordA strategic move to pile on the weights on his third try led to the 17-year-old breaking the squat sub-junior powerlifting world record. Singaporean teen powerlifter Matthew Yap. (Photo: YouTube screengrab) BELARUS: Singaporean powerlifter Matthew Yap set a new squat world record in the Under-66kg sub-junior category on Sunday (Jun 18). The 17-year-old hit 208 kilogrammes in his final attempt at the World Classic Powerlifting Championships in Minsk, Belarus. He cleared 190kg on his first try but opted to skip his second attempt due to a cramp. On his third attempt, Yap managed to overtake Kazakhstan's Dmitriy Chebanov on the leaderboard with his world-record lift, earning the Singaporean the gold medal. The win adds to Yap's silver medals in the bench press as well as his overall standing in the competition, which ends this weekend.

Tianmo Hypersonic June 19, 2017 Share June 19, 2017 It is really sad, for me to see that we have come to a stage where posting of information in mcf has to come to this extent. We have good, encouraging information having to hide under all kinds of threads, and we have threads being merge with back dated and out dated other threads. Such a promising young man, with a great future in this sport, bringing pride to Singapore, and he has to hide under some pull up threads. Not surprising at all, as ppl now are so concern of starting new threads, and over the other side we are talking abt how our PM abuse his power. @babyblade, @jman888, @radx, is it too much to ask for an individual thread for this young man, or sld we just change the title yet again and have all world record under one thread. Life is really confusing. 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
