The European Powerlifting Federation (EPF) recently restructured its calendar. As a result, their 2024 European Classic Championships (ECC) came just three months after the 2023 edition, giving the 2023 European Champions a fairly short tenure.
The six-day meet was held in Velika Gorica, Croatia, from March 12-17, 2024, and featured 210 athletes from 29 European countries.
