Paralympic Powerlifting (UEB Contracted)

Synopsis

On this page, there are three images: a barbell with weights on an adjustable stand, a powerlifter seen from the side and a powerlifter seen from above. Both of the athletes are paralysed from the waist down. They are bench-pressing: the only lifting event in the Paralympics. Each image has a dashed line image border. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the correct way up.Barbell with weights and stand (top left) - This image is in the top left of the page. It shows a bar, seen from the front, stretching across the top of the image with two weights on each end. Down the page to the left and right, the bar rests on the uprights of the stand. Down again you can find a headrest with handles to adjust the height of the barbell to either side. At the bottom of the image, the stand rests on the floor.A powerlifter seen from the side (bottom left) - This is an image of a powerlifter seen from the side on the top left of the page. He is lying on his back holding a barbell aloft. Only one of his arms and one of his legs can be found. The athlete's head is on the bottom right of the image, facing towards the top of the page with only one eye visible. To the left you can find his arm extending up the page to the barbell. His hand is obscured by one of the weights. To the left of his arm, his body stretches across the page to his leg and foot at the far left of the image. The soft pad of the lifting bench stretches across the bottom of the image; the remainder of the bench continues down the page, beyond the image border. For clarity, the weight stand has not been shown.Powerlifter seen from above (right) - This image, on the right of the page, shows a powerlifter lying on his back holding a barbell aloft. At the top of the image you can find the athlete's head resting on the bench's pad. He is looking up towards you and all his facial features can be found. Down the page, his arms extend left and right to his hands holding the bar. There are two weights further left and right, on each end of the bar. The athlete's body is in the middle of the image lying on the bench pad, and down the page, his legs and feet can be found. For clarity, the weight stand has not been shown.
