From 15th till 20th of April 2003 the European Weightlifting Championships took place in the seaside town Loutraki, Greece. SPORTCAMP Group was the Official Operator of the Championships.
31 countries participated in the men's championships (with 128 men) and 21 countries in the women's (with 78 women). The competitions were organized in the sports hall “Georgios Galanopoulos”  and gathered more than 3.000 spectators per day of the championships. Teams were training at SPORTCAMP's facilities, just a few kilometers from the competition venue.

Overall, it was a very successfull weightlifting championship and SPORTCAMP was congratulated on the grounds of event management and hospitality services offered. The fact that the championships were  held one year prior to the Olympic Games of Athens 2004, showcases the importance of this event which served as a Pre-Olympic rehearsal in the sport of weightlifting.
