Penny Yang has been selected to represent New Zealand at the World Powerlifting Championships being held in Italy at the beginning of November.
Penny is currently the top Powerlifter in New Zealand in her weight and age class. She currently holds the New Zealand squat record of 130kg which she broke earlier this year at the National Championships.
As Penny is currently 17 years old this is her last opportunity to attempt to break the youth world record squat which has been held for over 8 years.
All the very best in Italy Penny.
