A little piece of Para Powerlifting history.

Stoke Mandeville, 1985.

This photo features Julie Russell PLY and one of the first women to compete in Para Powerlifting, alongside her coach Brian McNicholl OAM.

Julie recalls that, at the end of the competition, the men would hold an extra competition in the b**r tent between the winners of each bodyweight division.

Determined to create the same opportunity for the women, Julie went around gathering female field event athletes to take part in a women’s competition too.

Julie went on to lift 77.5kg and finish second on formula.

A wonderful snapshot of the early days of our sport - and a reminder of the initiative and determination of those who helped shape Para Powerlifting.

Proud of our history.
Excited for our future. 💚🇦🇺
