Matthew Azzopardi Sets New U18 Indoor National Record in London

A brilliant weekend for Maltese athletics unfolded in London as Matthew Azzopardi delivered a standout performance, setting a new U18 indoor national record in the 800m. Azzopardi clocked an exceptional 1:58.93, a time now awaiting official ratification from Athletics Malta. His run showcased maturity, control, and a powerful finishing kick, confirming his status as one of the most exciting young middle‑distance prospects on the island.

There was more success for the Maltese contingent as Andrea Incorvaja produced a strong display of his own, winning his heat with an impressive 2:04.68. His composed pacing and confident execution added to a highly positive outing for the team.

These performances highlight the growing strength of Malta’s youth athletics programme, with both athletes demonstrating the talent and determination needed to compete on the international stage. Their achievements in London mark another encouraging step forward for the next generation of Maltese runners.
