Inspiring Story: This Granny Holds The World Record For The Oldest Powerlifter!

The 99-year-old granny named Edith Murway-Traina is officially the world’s oldest competitive powerlifter. The Florida native, based in Tampa, has been wowing judges and spectators on the powerlifting circuit, lifting weights up to nearly 70kg. As a great-great-grandmother, she joined the gym when she was 91. After years of dancing, having been inspired by Shirley Temple, Ginger Rogers, and Fred Astaire in her youth, she’s found a new recreational passion.

She has broken the record for oldest powerlifter by hulking upward of 150 pounds. Her achievement is marked in the 2022 edition of the ‘Guinness World Records’ book. The former professional dancer and instructor were quick on the uptake. Giving some surprising chills to younger counterparts, Edith has been lifting over 15 to 60 kg effortlessly.

So, she started working so hard and became a part of the team alongside her trainer Bill and also Carmen who won several trophies. Her determination even in her old age led her to gloriously win several competitions. She has also inspired many people to believe that it does not matter how old you are as long as you continue to work hard on it.
