Heaviest Paralympic powerlift (+100 kg, male)

Powerlifter Siamand Rahman (Iran) lifted 291 kg in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates, on 4 December 2011 to set a new mark in the men's +100 kg division. Rahman is also the Paralympic +100 kg record-holder, lifting 280 kg at the ExCeL arena in London, UK, on 5 September 2012 to win a gold medal. Competitors are classified by bodyweight alone in Paralympic powerlifting, so athletes with different impairments compete for the same medals.
