The 2023 European Powerlifting Federation (EPF) Western European Championships took place in Reykjanesbær, Iceland, on Sept. 8-10, 2023. The British team came close to sweeping all the team awards, only losing out to Team Italy by a few points in the Women’s Classic division.
This contest was run as a team event with each participant country fielding teams of six men and six women in both classic (raw) and equipped categories. The top four GL point* scores in each team were added together to give the team score. Prizes were awarded to the top three teams and the top three athletes in each category.
*Note: The GL point formula is an attempt to compare the achievements of lifters of different body weights and is used by the International Powerlifting Federation (IPF) and its affiliates.
