I would like to congratulate all the student-athletes that took part in the 2005 Games of the Small States of Europe (GSSE). One must note that a tally of medals were won by student-athletes, including Angela Galea’s gold in swimming and Rebecca Camilleri’s silver in the long jump, just to mention a few.

Perhaps it is about time that educational authorities sit down with the Malta University Sports Club (MUSC) and the Malta Olympic Committee (MOC) to create a flexible programme for such student-athletes. Hence, MUSC strongly believes that these few student-athletes should be entitled to a flexible programme that enables them to cope with their academic demands and exam deadlines as well as their training and competition schedules.
