By Ebuzman

An 86-year-old weightlifter, Brian Winslow, has broken a world and national record in his latest competition.

Winslow lifted 75kg (165lb) at his first attempt in the deadlift at the 2023 British Drug-Free Powerlifting Association championships.

The lift was a UK record for someone of Winslow's age and weight.

With his next effort, Winslow then bettered it with a lift of 77.5kg (171lb). 

According to BBC, the BDFPA confirmed that Winslow now holds the British and World Record in the 60kg category for male competitors aged 85 to 89.

Winslow, who got into weightlifting as a young man, said, "I'm obviously delighted"

He added: "It's always great to get a record or two. I was exhausted straight after but okay.”

The record breaker also insisted that he wanted to continue to compete at the top level, for as long as possible.

Winslow noted, "Weightlifting is a huge part of my life, alongside my children and grandchildren. I'll keep carrying on for as long as the body allows.
