Resolution Criteria

This market resolves YES if Farhanna Farid breaks her own deadlift world record for the 52kg class at any official IPF-sanctioned competition during 2026. The record must be verified through the International Powerlifting Federation (IPF) official records at https://www.powerlifting.sport/championships/records. As of January 2026, the current record stands at 217.5kg, set at the 2025 Asian Open Powerlifting Championships. The market resolves NO if she does not exceed this weight in any official competition during 2026.

Background

Farhanna Farid is a Singaporean powerlifter and 2-time Asian champion. She has demonstrated exceptional consistency in breaking her own record—she has broken her own deadlift world record for the 11th time since first claiming it in 2022. Farhanna recently turned 33 years old and quickly proved that she is still in her prime years for powerlifting. Her progression has been rapid: she set a world record of 200.5kg in June 2022, and has since improved by 17kg in less than four years.

Considerations

Farhanna was battling a months-long back injury and a more recent knee issue during her December 2023 record-breaking performance, yet continued to improve. Her record-breaking pattern suggests she competes frequently throughout the year at major international championships, making multiple attempts likely in 2026.
