Ukraine’s Daria Rusanenko lifts in equipped International Powerlifting Federation (IPF) competition. She moved up in the 84-kilogram class in 2021 but has yet to fill it out, routinely weighing in well under 80 kilograms (176 pounds). Rusanenko has a year left in the Junior (ages 20-23) category but is already one of the world’s top lifters in the Open class.
Rusanenko was the 2019 Sub-junior World Champion and ranked third overall in the Open category at the 2022 IPF World Equipped Powerlifting Championships (WEC). At the 2023 IPF Equipped World Championships in Druskininkai, Lithuania, from Nov. 13-18, 2023, Rusanenko set a new equipped squat world record in the 84-kilogram class. Check out Rusanenko’s record-breaking lift in the video below, courtesy of the IPF’s Instagram page:

Rusanenko performed the lift wearing a single-ply squat suit, knee wraps, wrist wraps, and a lifting belt, all of which are permitted in IPF equipped categories. The lift appeared smooth and comfortable from start to finish. However, a subsequent attempt at 288 kilograms (635 pounds) was not successful. Still, Rusanenko picked up the squat gold medal along with the squat world record. Her full performance is below:

Usually, weight can only be added to the barbell in 2.5-kilogram (5.5-pound) increments. However, at IPF World Championships, lifters can “chip” a world record by adding half a kilo (one pound). This is a useful tactic for lifters in close battles as it forces opponents to go up an extra 2.5 kilograms (5.5 pounds). This is the reason that Rusanenko and her coaching team selected 278 kilograms (613 pounds) rather than 276.5 kilograms (609.5 pounds).
Although Rusanenko was in the lead after squats, Canada’s Rhaea Stinn past Ruanenko on the leaderboard with a whopping 202.5-kilogram (446.5-pound) bench press. Rusanenko scored the bigger deadlift but could not reclaim the lead that Stinn established. Rusanenko settled for second place overall.
Although Rusanenko’s plans have not yet been announced, she is expected to compete next at the 2024 EPF EEC in Hamm, Luxembourg, on May 7, 2024. She has plenty of time and room to grow in the weight class, so there is little doubt further attempts to extend her squat world record are on the horizon.
