Day 2 of the UK Arnold - classic powerlifting women CONTINUED

Carola Garra led at sub-total, nearly 4 GL points ahead of Lya Bavoil who was, in turn, only 1.5 points ahead of her team-mate, Tiffany Chapon.

Chapon took the 52kg junior world record total with her 165kg opener. Garra took an easy looking 192.5kg for her first pull which was enough to stay ahead of Bavoil’s opening 210kg deadlift – but only by .05 of a GL point. Game on.

Joy Nnamani’s blink-and-you-miss-it 205kg opener moved her all the way up to 4th place in one go – not completely unexpected from the Brit.

Into the second round and Chapon looked at ease with 172.5kg. However, Nnamani smoked 220kg, closing the gap to Chapon considerably and also extending Nnamani’s own 57kg world record total to 485kg.

Garra’s second pull of 202.5kg looked like she had plenty left in the tank but Bavoil looked focussed and confident with 222.5kg and she re-took the lead by less than half a GL point.

Into the third round and Chapon lost 175kg at the top when her grip went but third place still looked fairly secure.

Garra came out for 212.5kg to try to take back first place but, just off the floor, disaster! She dropped the bar and clutched at her hamstring. Best wishes Carola - we hope you recover quickly!

Nnamani entertained the crowd with a 4xbodyweight deadlift at 230kg to extend her own deadlift AND total world records. This is probably the hardest we’ve seen Joy have to work to finish a pull but finish it she did and then blew kisses to the crowd.

Heaviest deadlifts of the day went to GB’s Sophia Ellis and Ziana Azariah, both with 240kg – a European record for Ellis! However, there was no denying that the dominant performance was Lya Bavoil. She may have already won the competition but she wanted more.

231kg went on the bar for a new deadlift world record, a new total world record of 556.5kg and the highest raw GL points score of any woman in the IPF. Tension mounted as she paced at the back of the platform - she looked a little rattled as she set up but the pull was strong and never faltered. Heartache in Sun City, redemption in Birmingham. All hail the queen.
