Taharally, already the holder of numerous national, FESUPO and Pan American records, set a new bar in the Masters II Classic 76KG weight class. Her squat of 150kg in Mongolia is a new Pan American and FESUPO record while her bench press of 77.5KG also set a new Pan American record. Meanwhile her deadlift of 182.5KG set the new standard for Pan American and FESUPO records. A total of 410KG also set new records for Pan America and FESUPO. Notably, Taharally also holds the Master’s I Pan American squat, bench press deadlift and total records which she set back in 2021.
