Yes, but in this clip she is using a bench shirt. Still impressive

If you think about this "powerlifting" as a sport, wisdom is not the issue here, it's about lifting as much as possible within the rules of the federation.
The rules for powerlifting, are not about health.

Its just a another division of powerlifting. Something else to add to the chalk board I guess.

I let it be as yours was a serious question. There's going to be enough fruits derailing the thread as it is trying to detract from the fact a 14 year old girl benches more than them.

Fair enough DREAD
The wisdom of a coach getting a 14 year old to do equipped lifting is that if she wants to be an equipped long term, the sooner she gets adjusted to the patterns the better.
Given she's Russian, there's a fair chance she wants to be equipped long term as that's still seen as the legitimate form of powerlifting in most of Eastern Europe.

A lot do gymnastics quite early too (as in, toddlers lol)
I found an article ages ago talking about development of Ice Hockey players
How at ages 4-8 anyone could participate, from 8-12 they would cull about 50% of athletes as would keep doing this right until the end of teens. Progressing only those who showed potential (both physically and mentally)
It was quite interesting. Sort of like "natural selection" for sports
