Powerlifting Philippines – JOAN MASANGKAY Sets NEW WORLD RECORD at World Championships
Jul 4, 2016
Contributed by Joan Masangkay,
Edited by Andrew Pirie.
Pinay sensation Joan Masangkay, a 17yrs old native of Masbate. But residing now at Barangay San Isidro Galas, Quezon City. She brought home a 1-Gold medal for Deadlift & 1-Bronze Medal for squatting. Hence Joanne set a new world record in the deadlift competition at the 2016 World Powerlifting Classic Championship in Killeen, Houston, Texas (USA). At the same time, it was an incredible battle between Belarus Country, Russia, and the Philippines.
This is one of the best battles in the Powerlifting event in the 43kg Sub-junior division. In the third & final attempt in the Deadlift competition, Japan’s- Miya Shimizu lifted 77.5kg, PHILIPPINES- Veronica Ompod-100kg. And USA- Brianna Morrison lifted 102.5kg,
The three created the biggest battle in the sub-junior division’s history when Russian- Olga Volynskaia lifted 107.5kg; she knew she would win the gold medal in the deadlift competition.
Olga was pleased because she felt that the two lifters would not succeed. Hence the two last lifters tried to break the world record. While the first one from BELARUS- Alina Chashchyna, body weight was 42.76kg when she lifted 110 kilograms of the world record. Consequently, Chashchuna successfully lifted the weight.
While Masangkay, whose body weight is 41.74kg, did not promise to bring honor to the Philippines. Before Masangkay lifted her 3rd & very last attempt, many of the World Championships’ spectators were sanctioned by IPF (International Powerlifting Federation).
Proving Doubters Wrong
People doubted our Filipina contender would succeed because she was short in stature at 4 “10′ in height. And thought it impossible to lift 110.5kg in the Deadlift competition. Most noteworthy was that one of the Commentator’s said

Despite this, Masangkay was not affected. On the contrary, while giving them all the strength she had, she successfully lifted the 110.5kg. And set a New World Record. Furthermore, creating a piece of history at the World Powerlifting Classic Championship in the Deadlift competition.
Masangkay said she dedicated her World record to our Newly elected President Rodrigo Roa Duterte, to all Pilipino out there & my Family, and most of all, to Our Lord Jesus Christ. Bring home 1 gold medal & 1 Bronze medal.
Ompod and Others
While in another event, Joan Masangkay’s teammate Veronica Ompod secured the Gold medal in the Squat Competition, and Brianna Morrison of the USA 2nd place got the silver medal. And Masangkay for the Bronze medal is also on the list in the women’s open division.

While the Philippine Powerlifting Team brought home 2 gold Medals, 1 silver medal & 1-Bronze medal.
PAP Director Cirilo Dayao, PAP(Powerlifting Association of the Philippines) President & National Coach Eddie Torres.
And Assistant Coach Leslie Evangelista said 733 athletes participated in different countries in the whole world like the USA, JAPAN, GREAT BRITAIN, AUSTRALIA, CANADA, BELARUS, RUSSIA, NEW ZEALAND, IRELAND, FINLAND, SWEDEN, SOUTH AFRICA, KAZAKHSTAN, ICELAND, URUGUAY, ECUADOR, NETHERLAND And Other parts of the world.
