It is with great sorrow that I share with you the passing of Ms. Eva Speth.
Eva was an amazing person and made a huge impact on the sport of Powerlifting, especially in her position as Chairwoman of the IPF Women’s Commission, and IPF Executive Committee Member. She made sure the ladies in our sport had a voice.
Eva was a multi-time National, European and World Champion and Record Holder in both Bench Press and Powerlifting.
She also served in many positions with the German Powerlifting Federation (BVDK).
For Eva’s many contributions to the sport of Powerlifting, she was inducted into the IPF Hall of Fame in 2018.
As I close, Eva was a truly special and inspirational person. On behalf of the IPF Executive Committee, we send our sincere thoughts, prayers, and deepest condolences to her family, friends, and the members of the German Powerlifting Federation.
Eva, we shall miss you very much, and may you rest in peace.
Respectfully,
Gaston Parage
President
