In a fantastic development for Malta in the Games of the Small States of Europe, 22-year-old Maltese Judoka Katryna Esposito has secured the country’s first gold medal.

Going up against 22-year-old Cypriot Veronika Kalaitsidou, Esposito secured a prestigious gold medal alongside a cool €10,000 bonus. The bonus scheme was announced by Maltese Olympic Committee president Julian Pace Bonello earlier this year, as an incentive for athletes to further pursue GSSE gold.

The bonus comes as a result of an agreement between Dr Clifton Grima and Sport Malta, resulting in the highest amount ever received by Maltese athletes in the GSSE.

Before Esposito, fellow Judoka James Zahra secured Malta’s first medal IN THE -60kg category after a victory against Liechtensteins Manuel Tischhauser.

Here’s to more silver and gold for Malta during the week-long games!
