Rolling Thunder: Women’s World Record Obliterated

by Randall J. Strossen, Ph.D. | ©2013 IronMind

IronMind has just completed its review of the top women’s lifts on the Rolling Thunder at the 2nd Armlifting World Championships and it’s official: Ludmila Gaiduchenko now holds the Rolling Thunder women’s world record at 77.2 kg.

In an epic battle of grip strength, Ludmila Gaiduchenko went back and forth with Irina Postnikova and the old record of 69.25 kg (held by Jaana Tanner) was repeatedly eclipsed by the Ukrainian pair. 

Gaiduchenko succeeded with 78 kg (which weighed 77.2 kg); and when Postnikova narrowly missed 78.5 kg (face value), the duel ended . . . for now.

Stay tuned—80 kg cannot be far off!
