Sixth-year medical student Karthik Saravanan has broken three University powerlifting records at Varsity and qualified for BUCS.
All of this came three days after final-year medicine exams.
“I dug deep… and smashed the 220kg deadlift on my final attempt.”
Balancing clinical placements, exams, and heavy training blocks is not straightforward. Karthik trains three times a week alongside his degree, often in evening and weekend sessions, and speaks candidly about managing fatigue, setbacks, and sleep debt in the run-up to the competition.
From Cuppers to record-holder, his progression reflects both individual discipline and the strength of Oxford’s student sports community.

As the first recipient of the Old Member-funded Accomplishment Scholarship funded by The Accomplishment Trust, Isaac is already demonstrating the impact of postgraduate support at Queen’s.
Reading for a Master’s in History, Isaac is researching student culture in late Victorian Oxford, using student magazines to uncover how earlier generations shaped their place within the University.
“Without this support I would not have been able to accept my offer… Having the costs of my course met has enabled me to commit myself completely to my studies.”
From archival research to conversations within a close-knit graduate community, Isaac reflects on the freedom the scholarship has made possible, and on why independent research matters.
