Maltese CrossFit Duo Bring In Bronze In Bari While Placing First In Two Of Six Fitness Challenges

CrossFit athletes Rachelle Cutajar and Jessica Camilleri placed third at an international functional fitness competition held in Bari, Italy.

The competition welcomed over 800 athletes spread across their own respective categories, though just getting there meant both Rachelle and Jessica had to go through a tough round of qualifications online last February.

Both athletes, who train at the Pit, had an amazing performance over the span of six grueling events. Swim n’ run, Olympic weightlifting, and gymnastics were all on the menu, on the day.

The power-duo blazed through the competition, capping off a first-place spot in two out of all six events.

The tournament was a global ranking event that saw the Maltese duo sweat on the sands alongside nine other teams that qualified for the event.

With another medal in the bag, all eyes now turn to more future successes.
