Ecuador beckons for local powerlifter after winning her division at the provincial and national championships.
Local powerlifter and matric learner at Northcliff High School Surina Devnarain (17) won gold medals at both the provincial and national powerlifting championships recently.
Surina won the female sub-junior 57kg division with her combined total 222.5kg (a total of her best attempts in squats, bench press, and deadlift) at the Gauteng Championships.
This allowed her to compete in the same division at the South African Powerlifting Championships, where she also won gold.
This has qualified her to represent South Africa at the World Sub-Junior and Junior Powerlifting (IPF) Championships in Ecuador in August.
Surina is registered with the South African Powerlifting Federation, which is affiliated with the IPF.
