100-Year-Old Woman Sets Record As The World’s Oldest Female Powerlifter

A 100-year-old great-great-grandmother is now a Guinness World Record holder as the world’s oldest female competitive powerlifter.

Edith Murway-Traina, a powerlifting granny from Tampa, Florida can deadlift 165 pounds and bench press 65 pounds.

Murway-Traina  who was a performer and dancer years ago had never even done weightlifting until she turned 91.

That’s when she saw some friends doing it and decided to try her hand.

At first it was just a hobby.

“I picked up a few bars, and they got to be fun,” Murway-Traina said. That fun turned into a passion.

She’s now competed in more than a dozen power lifting competitions and shows no signs of slowing down.

“I’m expecting in November I will have another trophy with a whole bunch of applause,” Murway-Traina said.
