On Saturday 13th December, we proudly celebrated the success of our young athletes at the Wonderland Event, a truly memorable occasion that highlighted talent, dedication, and the power of sport to inspire. Hosted at the state-of-the-art Marsa Sport Complex, this event was a resounding success and a testament to the hard work and commitment of everyone involved. The atmosphere throughout the day was filled with excitement, pride, and joy, as families, coaches, and supporters came together to witness our young athleteâs shine. The Wonderland Event formed part of the Letâs Move Malta programme, an initiative that continues to encourage children to adopt an active and healthy lifestyle through sport and physical activity. Throughout the event, we witnessed incredible performances from young athletes who showcased not only their sporting abilities, but also their discipline, determination, and passion. Their enthusiasm and confidence were a true reflection of the guidance and encouragement they receive both on and off the field.
All participating children were awarded a medal along with commemorative gifts to mark this special occasion and to recognise their efforts and achievements. These tokens of appreciation served as a reminder that every child who took part is a winner, and that participation, perseverance, and teamwork are at the heart of sporting success. Medals were presented by SportMalta CEO Mark Cutajar, SportMalta Chairman Matthew Pisani, and Director of Corporate Services Rose Marie Mercieca, whose presence further underlined the importance of this event.
During the event, we also witnessed an exciting Obstacle Course challenge, where children aged between 6 and 10, together with an advanced group, demonstrated remarkable skill, agility, and confidence. These young athletes have been consistently training and developing their abilities at SportMalta facilities, including the Cottonera Sport Complex, National Pool Sport Complex, Mosta Sport Complex, and Marsa Sport Complex. Their progress and performance are a direct result of structured training programmes delivered under the guidance and assistance of SportMaltaâs professional coaches, whose expertise and dedication continue to raise standards and nurture future sporting talent.
Most importantly, we proudly praise the athletes themselves and their parents. It is thanks to their dedication, encouragement, and continuous support that we are witnessing such success. The commitment shown by families plays a vital role in shaping confident, resilient, and motivated young athletes.
A big well done to everyone involved in organising this wonderful event, and especially to our talented young athletes who made the day so special.
Timmy Cutugno.
