Parintorn: many different strengths

Irihāpeti Mahuika —

Another amazing staff member to celebrate!

We would like to acknowledge another staff member who recently went to the Gold Coast to represent New Zealand in the Asian-Pacific Powerlifting Championships.
"Being nominated fourth out of six lifters in the u93 open men I knew I had to put on a stellar performance, considering the level strength of the other lifters. Through my determination and resilience I stunned the crowd and other lifters by squatting 250kg, benching 155kg and deadlifting 265kg. This gave me a total of 670kg, which meant a podium finish and a silver medal. This was, by far, the best performance on the platform. (I was known as the dark horse after the competition) "


Once again, we would like everyone to know how proud we are of this amazing role model.  It shows anything is possible, if you put your mind to it.
