Teen Triathlon Phenom Liam Daly Makes Explosive International Debut for Malta

Fifteen‑year‑old Gozitan triathlete Liam Daly has burst onto the international triathlon scene with a pair of extraordinary results that now proudly feature on his World Triathlon athlete profile. Making his first official appearances for Malta in June 2026, Daly delivered performances well beyond his age, immediately establishing himself as one of the nation’s brightest young talents.

His debut came at the Africa Triathlon Junior Cup in Yasmine Hammamet, Tunisia, where he powered through a competitive field to secure 3rd place, earning Malta a bronze medal. Just one week later, Daly travelled to Spain and stunned Europe’s best young athletes by becoming the 2026 European Age Group Champion (16–19 Sprint Triathlon) in Tarragona claiming a gold medal while racing against competitors up to three years older.
