Who is Anne Andres? Age, Biography, Family, Trans Breaks Powerlifting Record

Transgender male Anne Andres set a national record in Canada for powerlifting.

On Sunday, she competed in the Canadian Powerlifting Union’s Western Canadian Championship. She took part in the Female Masters Unequipped category.

After surpassing her opponents, internet users were left uncertain of her breaking a woman’s record, which sparked controversy online.

Anne Andres’ total powerlifting score at the Brandon University Healthy Living Centre event was 597.5 kilograms, which was over 200 kilograms more than her opponent SuJan Gill who held a 387.5 kg score.

The 40-year old’s score now stands as the heaviest weight one has squatted, deadlifted and bench pressed.

The powerlifter has set a women’s national record in Canada and also an unofficial world powerlifting record in the women’s category.
