Winston ‘Little Master’ Stoby, competing in the 74kg Masters 2 Category, set a new Deadlift World Record (WR) with another impressive performance at the 31st World Masters Men’s Powerlifting Championships taking place in Orlando, Florida between September 24 – 29, 2013.
Lifting on the Wednesday night, the opening day, Stoby shattered his old Deadlift WR of 260kg achieved last year in Texas with a new record of 277.5kg to win the gold medal but had to settle for second overall to the USA’s Gregory Page.
Stoby did attempt to raise the bar even higher by aiming for 280kg on his third and final attempt but was not successful, he set the new WR on his second attempt.
The Kingsrow Barbel Club member won silver medals in the Squat and Total.
Meanwhile, The Guyana Amateur Powerlifting Federation wishes to extend Congratulations to Winston, gratitude to the sponsors that supported him as well as the Australian National Masters Powerlifting Team that responded favorably to our request to assist him on stage due to our inability to send a coach because of financial constraints.
We fervently hope that just as equal National accolades be given to this true son of Guyana by all Guyanese concerned for consistently placing the Country on the sporting map at the highest level following on the heels of an outstanding performance by 18 year old lifter and World 53kg Sub junior Champion Gumendra Shewdas last month as well as the Men’s Team at the Caribbean and Pan American Championships in July. Stoby returns home this coming weekend late Saturday early Sunday Morning.
