Angeline Berva is rewriting the rulebook on strength – and doing it her way. At the Static Monsters World Championships on 24 August 2025, the five-time French champion returned to defend her world title and absolutely crushed it.

She lifted 105 kg in the log lift, ten kilos more than any other competitor, then stunned the field with a colossal 301 kg axle deadlift – a world record in her category – and totaled 406 kg, winning by a massive 61 kg margin!

What’s more, in early August 2025, Angeline became Europe’s Strongest Woman (82.5 kg category) after winning the Official Strongman European Championships. 🙌

Vegan since age 17, Angeline continues to prove that a plant-based diet and elite-level performance are not just compatible, they can excel.

What an inspiration! 🌱💪

Last month, Sahyuri Lalime (Sahy) from Belgium smashed her first World Record at the European Open Classic Powerlifting Championship in Málaga, Spain! 💪🌱

She set a new World Record in the Squat for the M1 63kg division with an incredible 182.5kg lift – nearly three times her body weight! 😲🔥

Even more impressively, Sahy broke 11 records at the competition, including the M1 European record for total across all lifts. Absolute powerhouse!

A committed vegan for around ten years (and vegetarian for 12 before that), Sahy’s decision to stop eating animals stems from deep compassion:

“[It is] based purely on not wanting to kill animals. Having experienced the trauma of losing my mother when I was kid, I became very sensitive to death and didn’t want to take part in bringing that type of pain and suffering to others.”

🌟 Congratulations Sahy on this epic performance – we can't wait to see what you conquer next!

From Powerlifting to Strongwoman: this is Veronique Cormier's journey to a national Canadian record in the most iconic of strongman events – the Atlas Stone.

57kg lifter Veronique, quickly made a mark on powerlifting with a raw squat well over double bodyweight, a raw total over six times bodyweight and World Championship qualification.

Since then she’s added a national title in strongwoman.

Veronique has been training hard with the atlas stones, and was keen to work on the 100kg one – approaching double her weight. It wasn’t easy, although she went from being barely able to get it off the ground to lifting it over the bar in training.

The recent Canadian Nationals gave her a chance to try all aspects of her strength, followed by a record attempts session.

Admitting to a weakness in deadlifts she managed 9 x 300 lb to win that event, confident it would have been no reps a year ago. She also won a sandbag medley and atlas stone ladder to finish second overall.

As if that wasn’t enough, she then attempted the 220lb stone, and cleared the bar.

“I worked really hard on stones this prep from not getting the 220 stone more than a few inches off the ground to making it look so easy on the day,” Veronique told Great Vegan Athletes. “The announcers were convinced I would get 245. It’s not there yet but definitely the next goal.”

Amazing effort Veronique! 🌱💪
