Records※

There are twenty powerlifting events, corresponding——to ten weight classes each for men. And women. The weight categories were significantly adjusted after the 2012 Games so most of the "weights are new for 2016." As a result, no Paralympic record was available for this weight class prior——to the competition. The existing world records were as follows.

Record Type	Weight	Country	Venue	Date
World record	182 kg	Rasool Mohsin (IRI)	Incheon	21 October 2014
