1983 Women's World Powerlifting Championships
The classic 1983 World Women's Powerlifting Championships was held in Adelaide, Australia. History was made in that for the first time in powerlifting history, USA was beaten by Australia in a team sense. Many contributed to this success, but none more so that Bev Francis who lifted like she was on another planet.
12 world and 16 Australian records were broken at this benchmark contest.
The event was a superb presentation of some of the finest women strength stars in the world.
The competition has now gone down in history as a classic example of victory through team work.
See BEV FRANCIS in the days when she was a world-champion power lifter, pre-bodybuilding, pre runner-up Ms Olympia! She started most of her first lifts when everyone else in her class was finished!
The previously undefeated Americans fell before the depth of the Aussie team. Powerful benches, backbreaking deadlifts, and grunting squats. An awesome show of strength by these unbelievably strong women.

Australia 93: USA 86
