Photos & Results: 2023 Malta International GP & Elite Pro Masters World Championships.
The Malta Federation of Bodybuilding and Fitness (MFBBF) in collaboration with the IFBB and IFBB Elite Pro, organized three exciting bodybuilding and fitness events on 24 September 2023.
The island of Malta, thanks to its location in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea, and its beautiful venue, has become a favorite amongst bodybuilding and fitness athletes from all over Europe and the rest of the world. Athletes from all over the world registered for these events, even as far as Australia.
The event took place at the Corinthia St. Georges Bay Hotel, St. Julians Malta, 23-24 September 2023.
The three events catered to the local and international athletes in the amateur and pro divisions:
The Battle is a local competition, giving the opportunity to new and seasoned athletes to compete in front of the local fans and qualify for the 2023 Arnold Classic Europe.
The Malta International GP is an event open to all IFBB-affiliated national federations. The event is an IFBB Elite Pro qualifier, and is also an IFBB World Ranking Tour qualifier. Some of the world’s best amateur athletes will be traveling to Malta to compete at this prestigious event.
The IFBB Elite Pro Masters World Championships will give the opportunity to the best IFBB Elite Pro Master competitors to compete for the ultimate prize – The IFBB Elite Pro World Championships title. The event will cater to three events, which are Bodybuilding, Bikini Fitness, and finally Bodyfitness. Bodybuilding & fitness fans can expect a very high level of competition at this event.
All three events were at the highest level, with a number of athletes already proving themselves on the world stage as European and World Champions.
Evolutionofbodybuilding.net would like to thank MFBBF President and IFBB General Secretary Ralph Decelis and his committee for their professional work.
