Four young Gozitan young athletes, aged between 6 and 13 years, have recently successfully participated in the Ironkids event held in Friedberg, Germany. There were two event categories – A Run and a Bike & Run.

The Minister for Gozo Justyne Caruana congratulated these promising athletes, who she said, from an early age, are already showing potential in making a name for themselves and our country.

Dr Caruana Gozo mentioned that the sports sector is now being given the attention it deserves through important capital projects, a major one being the swimming pool, as well as the introduction of aid schemes for athletes training in Malta.She reiterated her commitment to continue to assist all sports sectors in Gozo where today, children and young people are seeking to try different sports disciplines than we are traditionally accustomed to.

She also thanked the Gozo Sports Board for their work in introducing a number of new disciplines for Gozitan sports enthusiasts.

The Minister Justyne Caruana acknowledged the participation of Jake Micallef, Chylen Fava, Kai Debono and Mickaya Fava.
