To attract more female athletes to powerlifting and improve gender equality in the sport, World Para Powerlifting has developed “She Can Lift” – a new programme centred on the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games. The project also intends to increase the technical knowledge and the number of certified female coaches and technical officials, as well as boost the image of female participation in Para powerlifting.
World Para Powerlifting has ten bodyweight categories for men and women and will have an equal number of qualification slots for both genders at Tokyo 2020.
