IAWA GOLD CUP Record List Standardization

The past couple of weeks I have, somewhat randomly, been changing the names of meets for consistency, stopping when a name seems a little ambiguous and research is required. Today, I focused on the IAWA Gold Cup and I was able to update all.

I thought it may be fun to list a few stats as I filter through the data. Please comment in the forum if this is something you would like posted for other yearly meets as I progress with the name changes. Note that in this first posting I have listed the old meet name before the updated one, just to give a visual of how I hope to standardize many of the meet names in the spreadsheet.

Currently, there are a total of 332 IAWA Gold Cup records standing.

The top 3 Lady record holders are;
Noi Phumchaona with 11 records
Judy Habecker with 8
Elizabeth Monk with 6

The top 3 Male holders are;
Denny Habecker with an impressive 37 records
Dennis Mitchell with 17
Art Montini with 15

Denny’s Fulton bar, Ciavattone grip deadlift is the last lift standing on the board, from the 2019 Gold Cup in Perth.

The table below lists the current IAWA Gold Cup meets containing records in chronological order;
