October 4–5, 2025 | SWH Arena, Halle (Saale), Germany
The biggest FinalRep season in history culminated with FinalRep Worlds 2025 — two unforgettable days in Halle (Saale) that marked the ultimate chapter of this year’s global Streetlifting journey.
From Europe to Latin America, North America, and Asia, 16 international competitions shaped a season that brought together thousands of athletes, organizers, and fans in record numbers. The momentum that began across continents finally converged in Germany, where the world’s best lifters met for one purpose: to push limits on the highest stage Streetlifting has ever seen.
A Truly Global Gathering
The FinalRep Worlds 2025 brought together athletes from 24 countries, creating a melting pot of styles, energy, and emotion.
Over 84 qualified athletes stepped onto the platform in front of 200–250 live spectators and tens of thousands more online. Organized by FinalRep, and powered by Supreme Force, Strength Shop, King of Weighted, Insane Stone, Altius, MPDS, and Tatakai, the event showcased what the global community has built together — a structured, professional, and inspiring sport. The weekend was an organizational success, supported by Dedicated Sports, ES Sounds, and a 40-person crew who kept the event running smoothly from morning until late
evening.
The online response was explosive: 80,000+ livestream viewers and over 2 million social media impressions, setting new engagement records for the sport.

Across both days, the arena pulsed with energy. From new personal records to dramatic bombouts, Worlds 2025 captured the full emotion of elite competition.

Judging & Fair Play
Following the event, judging discussions became a major talking point — both online and onsite.
FinalRep responded transparently, recognizing the importance of community feedback while reaffirming its commitment to clarity, fairness, and feasibility.
The core message is clear: the maturity of the rules grows through consistent improvement.
Since 2020, the FinalRep Rulebook has expanded from 7 to 34 pages, reflecting this continuous evolution — made possible through the voluntary efforts of a few dedicated individuals.
Since the introduction of the Judging Committee in 2024, this process has become more
professional and democratic.
With their support, the rules are now updated annually based on athlete and judge feedback.
The committee is currently reviewing Worlds 2025 feedback, including topics like the use of VAR technology, the jury’s role, and updates to the FinalRep Judging License.
Going forward, the @judging.finalrep channel will serve as the main hub for updates and education.
As of today, the first review session has already taken place — recorded and made
available publicly to strengthen transparency and trust.

At FinalRep, we believe that transparency builds trust, and that constructive dialogue is the foundation for progress.
Farewell to Legends
Three icons of Streetlifting announced their retirement following FinalRep Worlds 2025, each closing a defining chapter in the sport’s young history.
Their dedication, resilience, and emotional final performances reminded everyone what Streetlifting truly stands for — passion, persistence, and purpose.
🇳🇱Nadine Hettinga
2023 – 1st WORLDS | 245 kg
2024 – 1st EUROS | 274.5 kg
2025 – 1st WORLDS | 291.25 kg
For Nadine Hettinga, Worlds 2025 was the end of a three-year Streetlifting career — and
perhaps her most emotional competition yet.
After announcing it would be her final event, the pressure to win was immense. A failed attempt, lost equipment, and the emotional weight of expectation nearly broke her focus — until she ended the day with a decisive 132.5 kg squat, sealing her final victory in style.
“I envisioned, I fought, I succeeded — and leave it behind. Thank you Streetlifting. You’ve become a part of me that will never ever leave me.”
🇵🇱Bartłomiej Orchowski – “BartoAirlines”
2022 – 1st WORLDS | 475 kg
2023 – 1st WORLDS | 513.75 kg
2024 – 2nd EUROS | 520 kg
2025 – 5th WORLDS | 506 kg
After years of dominance, BartoAirlines retires as one of the most successful and respected athletes in Streetlifting history — a symbol of discipline and humility who inspired an entire generation.
🇹🇳Ashura Youssef
2022 – 1st WORLDS | 385 kg
2023 – 1st WORLDS | 442.75 kg
2025 – 1st WORLDS | 448 kg
A pioneer of the –66 kg category, Ashura Youssef ends his competitive career as one of Streetlifting’s most technical and consistent athletes. His farewell in Halle — carried by the chants of “Allez go, Ashura!” — perfectly captured the emotion and unity of Worlds 2025.
As he transitions to coaching, he continues shaping the next generation of lifters with the same dedication that defined his legacy.
