A Florida woman received word just before her 100th birthday that she is a Guinness World Record holder as the world's oldest female competitive powerlifter. Edith Murway-Traina, who will turn 100 on Sunday, was 98 years and 94 days old at the time of her last competition in 2019, earning her the Guinness record. Beyond that, Murway-Traina might soon break her own record, as she is scheduled to compete in her first post-pandemic lifting competition in November. Murway-Traina lifts weights ranging from 40-150 pounds at her competitions, which have earned her so many trophies that she's run out of room for them in her home.
