World Masters Powerlifting C/ships 2012
Stoby smothers opposition to create history; sets new DL record of 272KGS
He was the lightest athlete in the 74KGS M2 Category but by no means a push over. His performance was as devastating and solid as Guyana’s fine gold; when the dust was settled, Guyana’s Winston Stoby stood tall by etching his name in the history and records books at the world and local levels.
Guyana’s Winston Stoby (centre) is flanked by Koichi Taniguchi
of Japan (left) and USA’s Mark Sigala on the podium.
Standing as Guyana’s lone representative at the World Masters Powerlifting Championships held in Killeen Texas, USA, Stoby lifted his way into the record books as he had promised by setting a new Deadlift World Record of 272.0KGS; this lift also saw him claiming the Gold medal.
Another golden performance was achieved in the Squat when the Guyanese strongman churned out a lift of 255.0KGS. He took the bronze medal in the Benchpress by achieving 140.0KGS.
It doesn’t stop here, Stoby took the Gold medal as the best lifter in his category which attracted six (6) competitors with a total of 485.52 Wilkes Points relegating Koichi Taniguchi of Japan to second place with the USA’s Mark Sigala third.
Stoby’s performance was so shattering that he only failed one of his nine (9) attempts; his second attempt at his own record attempting a lift of 277KGS.
Following is the table with shows the best Squat, Benchpress and Deadlift (KGS) of the athletes in Stoby’s category as well as their overall placing.
