Hi Everyone,

My name is Cyrille Bikoi, and I am a 21-year-old powerlifter and an Electrical Engineering student.

I have recently won the u83 junior Irish Championship and have been selected to represent Ireland at the 2026 Junior World Championships. This is has been a massive goal of mine and means so much to me.

Unfortunately, Powerlifting is very much a self funded sport. Our federation covers the competition entry fee and anti-doping fees, while SBD Ireland kindly provides us with the kit. However all other costs like flights, accommodation and nutrition are self funded by us the athletes .

To help make this opportunity possible, I am raising funds to cover the costs of travelling to and competing at the World Championships. If you’re able to support me, whether through a donation or by sharing my story with others, I’d be so grateful. Every bit helps and means a lot.

Thank you very much for being part of this journey, and I'm grateful for any support that can be given and to everyone who has helped me so far to get to where I am today!
