Heavy Lifting - Made Possible

We’re backing BPC Graduate Quantity Surveyor Rachel Duncan, off to represent New Zealand at the Junior World Weightlifting Championships in Mexico.

Rachel is the 2023 Oceania Weightlifting Federation’s Under-23 and Junior Champion, taking out the top women’s prizes in her weight category in Apia last month.

Representing New Zealand in the Under-71kg events against the best from Australia and around the Pacific, she lifted 85kg snatch and 111kg clean and jerk for a 196kg total.

Wellington-based Rachel, 20, fits her five days a week training schedule around her work, enjoying the physical and mental challenges of perfecting her technique.
