How To Watch the 2024 FISU University World Powerlifting Championships

Written by Jo Whiteley
Last updated on July 22nd, 2024

The International Powerlifting Federation’s (IPF) World University Cup is the top-level university competition. In 2024, it will be held under the aegis of the Fédération Internationale du Sport Universitaire (FISU) for the first time.

From July 23rd, 2024, over 180 powerlifters from 20 countries will gather in Tartu, Estonia, to take to the platform to represent their University and their country. To qualify for this championship, athletes must be 25 years old or younger, university students, and nationals of the country they represent.

Athletes to Watch

Below are male and female lifters to keep eyes on during competition days:

Guillaume Parisot (83KG class) — France

2022 was a good year for Parisot. He was the bronze medallist at the UK Arnold and the European Classic in Skierniewice. He won the 2023 World University Cup (WUC), breaking the squat, deadlift, and total records.

Eliam Tchandeu Noundou (105KG class) — France

Tchandeu Noundou won silver at the 2023 European University Cup (EUC) and rose to gold at the 2023 WUC. He holds the FISU world records in squat, deadlift, and total. 

Guillaume Jean Marie Flore (93KG class) — France

Flore has already appeared at several minor international events—two at the Pyrenees Cup in 2023 and 2024 and one at the 2022 Western European Championships. He has been quietly building a huge deadlift and has a good chance of breaking the FISU world record in that lift.

Ellen B. Åkesson (63KG class) — Sweden

Åkesson has been competing nationally since 2021 but stepped up to international competition in 2023. That year, she took the silver medal at the EUC in the 63KG class and followed it up with the silver medal at the WUC in the 69KG class. For this event, she is back down in the 63s.

Salma Mmadi (84+KG class) — France

Mmadi has built a huge squat in her short career, adding 55 kilograms in 18 months. She is the current Junior European champion and has won the gold medal at the two previous WUCs and the 2024 EUC.

Marelin Jüriado (84KG class) — Estonia

Jüriado has the advantage of lifting on home turf at this event. She has been competing since 2021 and already has an impressive resume. She lifts classic and equipped and was the sub-Junior European champion in classic and equipped in 2022.
