Prime Minister Robert Abela and Opposition leader Bernard Grech met with and congratulated the Birgu Regatta Club for this year’s victory during the Victory Day Regatta.
The team represented both political leaders with a red team shirt with their surnames printed on the back.
The team secured victory in the final race, ‘Tal-Pass B’Erbgħa, at the Valletta Grand Harbour last month.
This victory marks Vittoriosa’s second consecutive success after sharing last year’s shield with Cospicua. However, it is the first time they have lifted the Victory Day Regatta shield outright since their triumph in 1984.

On the opening day, Nathan Mifsud made history by securing a bronze medal in the Male U-15 category, Malta’s first-ever European Cup medal in this division. He completed all six lifts, achieving 79kg in the Snatch and 98kg in the Clean & Jerk, setting nine national records. Mifsud narrowly missed silver by just 0.6 Sinclair points to a Polish competitor.
Kim Camilleri Lagana also shone on the first day, winning silver in the Women’s U-17 category. She lifted 65kg in the Snatch and 87kg in the Clean & Jerk, totaling 232 points, just 0.13 points shy of gold.
Malta’s success continued with Tenishia Thornton crowned EU Champion in the U-20 category, and alongside Rylee Borg, winning gold in the doubles. Borg set national records in the U-20 Men’s Snatch (117kg and 120kg) and earned 4th overall.
Camilleri Lagana and Mifsud added another silver in the doubles. The team’s final tally of 3 gold, 3 silver, and 1 bronze marked one of Malta’s most successful weightlifting competitions to date.
