Cat Phipps won the title at the English Bench Press Championships for the second consecutive year by benching 100 kg in the 69 kg category. This was an improvement from her winning press of 95 kg the previous year. Her impressive performance has earned her an invitation to compete at the IPF Commonwealth Powerlifting Championships in Canada. Cat has been a vegetarian her whole life and turned vegan in 2021, motivated by her compassion for animals and a documentary on the dairy industry that made her realize the importance of being completely vegan.

Cat's success as a vegan athlete is a testament to the benefits of a plant-based diet for athletes. She has shown that it is possible to excel in sports while following a vegan lifestyle. Cat's achievements serve as inspiration for other plant-powered athletes and highlight the growing recognition of veganism in the sports community.
