Preview show for the IPF Classic Open World Championships with experts Julia Williams, Sam Sikora and Mike Gold. This is the one we’ve all been waiting for, the largest and most stacked world championships in IPF history! The US National Team is loaded again, with 12 athletes returning from last year’s team that swept the gold medals in team points for both men and women. They’re joined by four new superstars that will all have a shot at winning the world title and bringing back a bunch of gold medals for the USA! And if winning the world championships wasn’t enough, Powerlifting America athletes will be looking to secure their spots for SBD’s Sheffield 2024, where there will be over half a million dollars on the line in the largest prize fund in powerlifting history! Our experts break it down, session by session and give you all the storylines to look for in what promises to be the most exciting World Championships yet.

Chelsea Savit, the 69kg Open National Champion, who is now a back to back member of the US National Team. Chelsea was two weeks out from the IPF World Championships in Malta when we recorded this and her prep has been going better than ever. Chelsea has been competing for 10 years now, but her career almost came to an end after her first appearance at the World Championships in 2017, culminating in an extremely serious back surgery. It’s taken her 5 years, but now she’s hitting all time PRs on all three lifts and looking to shock the world in Malta.
