A powerlifting result has separate placings for individual lifts and the combined total. The official scoresheet is more precise than a medal headline.

The IPF’s official women’s classic final results for Reno, Nevada place Ekta Vishnoi first overall in the Masters 2, 57 kg class at the 2026 World Masters Classic Powerlifting Championships.
Her best valid lifts were 130 kg in the squat, 72.5 kg in the bench press and 160 kg in the deadlift. Their sum is a 362.5 kg total. The result table ranks her first in squat and deadlift, second in bench press and first overall.
That distinction matters when reading a report of three gold medals: the overall result is separate from each lift, and the scoresheet does not show a bench-press gold. An unsuccessful attempt is also not added to the total; use the best valid lift in each discipline.
To compare performances, match the year, age division, bodyweight category and classic or equipped discipline. Readers can link the exact scoresheet row when discussing a result, rather than merging similar-looking records from different competitions.
