Beppe Grillo Becomes Last Athlete To Represent Malta At 2024 Paris Olympics

Aug 3 2024 Share

Architecture student and local sprinter, Beppe Grillo has become the last athlete to represent Malta at the 2024 Paris Olympics, by placing fifth in his 100m heat.

Grillo participated in the sixth heat of the preliminary round against another 7 athletes and ended up in 5th position, a disappointing result for Grillo who had the second personal best time amongst all the other sprinters.

This was not enough to qualify for the next round, with Grillo needing a top 2 place to continue his Olympic journey.

Grillo crossed the finish line with a 10.69 seconds,  0.46 seconds slower than his national record of 10.23 he set at the Balkan Championships in May.

A big well done still has to go to Beppe Grillo who despite not obtaining the result he would have wanted, made everyone in Malta proud by representing the tiny island to his best on the grandest stage of them all.
