Dear Members of the European Powerlifting Federation,
As we celebrate this joyous season of Christmas, it is important to acknowledge how far we have come together over this past year. The selection of 50 European athletes out of 96 from the whole world for the World Games is a testament to your dedication and hard work. The numerous European and World records set this year fill me with pride and highlight the extraordinary commitment and persistence that define our community.
The friendships formed through our sport are treasures that enrich our lives beyond competitions and strengthen our bonds.
With the increased support from the EPF to the championship organizers, we have elevated the level of our events, paving the way for even greater health, strength, and ambition in the coming year.
Let us continue to develop, grow, and improve as a united community.
As we look toward a new year filled with potential challenges and triumphs alike, I sincerely wish each of you fulfillment in reaching your goals – both on the platform and beyond.
May this holiday season bring you joy, peace, and inspiration for the year ahead.
Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year!
Warm regards,
EPF President
Bjørn Astad
