Huge congratulations to our classic masters powerlifting team, recently returned from the snowy vastness of Oulu, Finland. Every team was either first or a very close second. We welcome 18 new European champions – two of them also winning the Best Lifter award (highest formula in the whole age class). 12 world records and 15 European records went into the history books and we are so proud of each and every one of our 52 strong team.
