Showing every contest lift. Show each athlete's best per event
Every entry carries its owner's badge and a footnote linking to the owner's records. Event names open that event's records and rankings (each links on to every body's records for the same implement); athlete names open their GripCentral athlete page and contest names the owner's contest page.

How records work
Records are set under a sanctioning body's rules — set, judging, and equipment all matter. A lift in your garage counts for you; a lift on the platform counts for the books. Each entry here is owned by the body that published it, shown by its badge and footnote.
Sanctioning bodies →Chasing a mark?
Records are set at sanctioned contests. Once a meet's results are posted to the owning body's database, new marks show up here at the next sync. Spot an error? Let us know.
