- Zoltan Debreczeni posted the biggest total of the meet and its best DOTS — 842.5 kg raw at 97 kg bodyweight (525.61 DOTS).
- Adjust for bodyweight and the board behind him is almost all women: Tsivun Liudmyla and Mariya Grigoryan out-scored nearly every man at the meet.
- The championship ran the three lifts as separate events across four days — full-power on days one and two, a dedicated deadlift day, and a bench-press day.
Four days, three lifts
WUAP runs the European Championship as separate single-lift events across the week — full-power (squat, bench and deadlift) on the first two days, then a deadlift-only day and a bench-press day. The totals below come from the two full-power days; the single-lift days are their own boards on the day pages above.
The board
The biggest full-power totals of the meet. Total is the headline number; DOTS adjusts for bodyweight, so it ranks strength across weight classes — which is where the board reshuffles.
The first two days contested both raw and equipped lifting, so the totals here mix categories — each row is labelled.

The two full-power days ran raw and equipped lifters together, so this board mixes categories — gear lifts an equipped total above a raw one, and DOTS adjusts for bodyweight and sex but not equipment. Compare within an equipment category, not across.
Strongest pound-for-pound
