For the first time in its 34-year history, The Asian Classic Powerlifting Championship 2023 was held in Malaysia on 10th-18th December 2023. With over 453 athletes from 27 countries across the Asian continent participating, the event saw the Malaysian men's team come in third, with the women's team in fourth place.

We take a look behind the curtain of the inaugural event, the overall performance of the Malaysian team, and what we can look forward to in the country's powerlifting scene in 2024 and beyond. Dato' Dayalan Jeevan, President of the Malaysian Association For Powerlifting, tells us.
