# Powerlifting at the 2016 Summer Paralympics – Men's 97 kg

The men's 97 kg powerlifting event at the 2016 Summer Paralympics was contested on 14 September at Riocentro.

## Records

There are twenty powerlifting events, corresponding to ten weight classes each for men and women. The weight categories were significantly adjusted after the 2012 Games so most of the weights are new for 2016. As a result, no Paralympic record was available for this weight class prior to the competition. The existing world records were as follows.

| - | - | - | - | - |
| World record | 243 kg | Mohamed Eldib (EGY) | Dubai | 18 February 2016 |
