CrossFit athletes Rachelle Cutajar and Jessica Camilleri placed third in an international functional fitness competition held in Bari, Italy.
The competition welcomed over 800 athletes spread across their respective categories, though just getting there meant that both Rachelle and Jessica had to go through a tough round of online qualification last February.
Both athletes, who train in the Pit, put on incredible performances during six grueling events. Swimming and running, Olympic weightlifting and gymnastics were all on the menu for the day.
The power duo shone through the competition, taking first place finishes in two of the six events.
The tournament was a world ranking event where the Maltese duo sweated it out in the sand along with nine other teams who qualified for the event.
With another medal in the bag, all eyes now turn to more successes to come.
