As many of you may know, USA Weightlifting introduced new weight classes effective August 1, 2026. While some weight classes remained the same—including the women’s 53 kg and 86 kg classes and the men’s 110 kg and 110+ kg classes—others are brand new.
We have now updated our PNW WSO records to reflect these changes. Records from weight classes that carried over have been updated, and we’ve established record standards for the new weight classes moving forward. The records also include results from the most recent August meets held within our WSO.
We’re also excited to share that we’ve added record-holder categories for adaptive athletes, including athletes with physical, visual, hearing, and intellectual impairments. We’re proud to continue making our record system more inclusive and representative of the athletes in our community.
As a reminder, the PNW WSO is an all-volunteer organization, and a lot of time and care goes into maintaining these records. If you notice a discrepancy or believe a correction needs to be made, please kindly let us know in the comments below. We’re doing our best to keep everything as accurate and up to date as possible and appreciate your help!
Thank you, and congratulations to all of our PNW WSO record holders! 🏋️♀️🏋️♂️
