Tiffany Chapon (47KG) Sets 99.5-kg (219.4-lb) Bench Press World Record at 2023 IPF World Championships
The 2023 IPF World Open Classic Powerlifting Championships are taking place from June 11-18, in Valletta, Malta. It did not take long to see the first World Records fall, as Tiffany Chapon put up a record breaking performance on day one. The French representative took part in the 47-kilogram weight class, set a new bench press World Record, and claimed her third consecutive title. So, it was a very successful outing for the 22-year-old Tiffany.
The IPF World Record that Tiffany Chapon set was in the bench press event. She walked confidently onto the stage and locked out 99.5 kilograms (219.4 pounds), thus setting a new record. It was also raw, since the 2023 IPF World Open Classic Powerlifting Championships only featured the raw division.
The previous U47KG IPF Bench Press World Record was also held by Tiffany Chapon and it stood at 96 kilograms (211.6 pounds). She set the record at the 2022 IPF World Classic Powerlifting Championships. So, in just one year Tiffany managed to further improve the record by 3.5 kilograms (7.7 pounds).

Tiffany Chapon put up solid performances in other events as well, but the bench press was the only World Record she managed to set. She opened up her performance with a 157.5-kilogram (347.2-pound) squat, and then impressed everyone with her bench. However, she then added a 167.5-kilogram (369.3 pounds) deadlift to secure the title.
In the end, Tiffany Chapon’s Total came out to 424.5 kilograms (935.9 pounds), which is just 2 kilograms (4.4 pounds) shy of her last year’s result.

This was Tiffany Chapon’s 15th sanctioned powerlifting appearance and her 11th victory. Furthermore, she is now a 3x IPF World Champion and a 3x EPF European Champion. Tiffany also holds a number of Open and Junior World Records.
Tiffany Chapon was once again quite dominant, having easily won the title. In addition, she further improved her own World Record, as well as brought the first gold medal for France at the 2023 IPF Worlds. She will now hope to defend her European Title in a few months as well, which looks like the most realistic outcome currently.

Tiffany Chapon Beats Squat World Record During Training Session
Tiffany Chapon completed a squat slightly over the world record in a recent training session.
A new wave of powerlifters is coming and Tiffany Chapon is one of the up-and-coming athletes to watch. The 20-year-old lifter already has a strong resume and continues to impress. In training, the 47kg competitor keeps putting up big numbers and this could lead to something special in competition.
Most recently, Chapon shared a video on Instagram showing a 153.5kg (338.4lb) squat. It is important to note that this is one full kilogram more than the current world record in the 47kg division.
“Squat: 153.5 kg (unofficial wr). I failed this bar 5 minutes before but I’m slowly learning to understand and listen to myself. I’m happy the technical adjustments are paying off.”
While Chapon’s lift cannot be officially recognized as a world record, it is noteworthy that she was able to top it in training. This is a lift that is more than three times her bodyweight at the time. Chapon admitted that she failed the first attempt but was able to make adjustments to succeed the next time around. This means that she is learning each day and it a scary thought for opponents.
Chen Wei-Ling of Taiwan holds the current world record but Chapon could be coming for it soon. This is not the first time that the French powerlifter has put up big numbers in the gym.
Tiffany Chapon also topped the world record total of 408kg (899.5lb) in a training session. This record is held by Heather Connor. Unofficially, chacon added a 96kg bench and has totaled 411kg in total. She has put in some serious work since beginning her career at age 19.
This is when she made her debut during the 2020 FFForce Silent Worker Meet. Since then, Chapon has appeared in six sanctioned events and has won four of them. She now competes at 47kg but has multiple world records in the 43kg division. These include raw squat (122.5kg), deadlift (146.5kg), and total (339kg).
During the 2021 FFForce Girl Power competition, Chapon put up her best day. She posted a total of 402.5kg, which is currently the this heaviest total on record in IPF competition. Wei-Ling and Connor are the only two competitors to log a heavier total.
Tiffany Chapon has already logged plenty of world record lifts in her young career. As she matures a bit in the sport, there are more to go down. Chapon could have her eye on the squat record next given her recent lifts and is learning the technical side of the sport. This means she is going to improve and gain strength rapidly.
