BMIT Technologies backs Maltese para powerlifting talent on road to 2028
Nick Mercieca, the Maltese para powerlifting athlete, has set his sights on the 2028 Paralympic Games in Los Angeles, and his preparations have been boosted by new backing that will help him take on a rigorous international schedule in the years ahead. BMIT Technologies has just announced that it will be the athlete’s main partner on his journey to the Games.
For the next three years, Nick has a packed calendar of training camps, international events, and elite competitions that will shape his path and ambition to earn a Paralympic qualification spot.
“My focus has always been the Paralympics. LA 2028 is the goal,” said Nick. “I train every day to earn that place, and this support from BMIT means I can fully commit to that journey. It’s more than a sponsorship, it’s a belief in what I’m working towards and the Paralympic spirit we uphold. Paralympic sport shows us how far we can push ourselves, no matter the obstacles we may face in life.”
Nick’s sporting credentials already speak volumes. A karate black belt and para rowing world record-holder, he has quickly emerged as a promising talent in the world of para powerlifting. At the recent World Para Powerlifting World Cup in Tbilisi, Georgia, he became Malta’s first international para powerlifter in history, placing 1st place in total lift and 2nd for best lift in the ‘Next Generation’ category for 18-20-year-olds. His development in the sport has drawn attention for both his athletic potential and his sheer determination.
“When we met Nick, we immediately saw someone who reflects the values we believe in - resilience, purpose, and a relentless drive to improve,” said Christian Sammut, CEO of BMIT Technologies. “We’re proud to support his journey and hope our backing helps him reach the world stage.”
The sponsorship forms part of BMIT Technologies’ broader commitment to supporting local talent and inclusivity in sport. Nick will now enter a critical period of development and competition, with upcoming events playing a key role in building his international ranking and experience.
