There was a hint of snow in the air as we packed up the 2023 IPF World Open Equipped Championships in Druskininkai, Lithuania. We saw many world records, close battles and emotional finishes. Glory and redemption marched hand in hand with heartache and disappointment. We saw old friends and new faces in equal measure.
In the men's competition, Ukraine had a clean sweep with the team award and the top three best lifters.
