What happens in the SuperFlight? 

1) The SuperFlight is "open" so non members and international lifters can compete. Records can only be taken if the competitor is a current 2026 member of the A/BPU or of  a WPC International Country affiliate and your membership ust be produced at weigh in and logged. 

2) This is a minimum points qualification flight: 

115 Glossbrenner Points  - for both women and men. This is age, gender and bodyweight adjusted. OR a qualifying recorded bench at competition within 2 years of 200kg for men, and 110kg for women regardless of points. 

3) The winner of the SuperFlight is determined from the greatest Glossbrenner points of weight lifted, bodyweight, age and sex adjusted. So anyone can win, you cant just stroll in to this one!
