Three local gymnasts, and possibly two others, will be representing Malta in the forthcoming Games for European Small Nations in Cyprus next month.

Philip Caruana Turner, Kirsty Caruana and Nicole Pace all qualified during the selection competition organised last Friday at Gymstars Club.

Caruana Turner’s performance was very impressive. In fact, he obtained the MQS with a performance superior to that which landed him the bronze medal in Monaco two years ago.

The competition was judged by a French woman, Dany Scotto, brought over by the Maltese Olympic Committee.

Following Friday’s meeting, there are still hopes that a further two gymnasts can qualify.

Two years ago, Malta’s gymnasts made their debut at the Monaco Games with a team of four girls and three boys, obtaining one bronze medal.
