15-year-old Maltese swimmer Sasha Gatt breaks national record

15-year-old local swimming prodigy Sasha Gatt has made waves both figuratively and literally as she broke her own national record in a 400m freestyle event at Malta’s Olympic Qualifying meet at Tal-Qroqq.

The two-day event saw Gatt’s own national record set for the first time back in February where she registered a time of 4:23:33, going on to set the new record at 4:18:58.

The swimmer said she was ‘over the moon’ with her performance and improvement and went on to thank her coach Catalin Stan for the support and training.
