The inspirational athlete has just finished his last marathon of the year, capturing the moment in an emotional clip whilst promising that he will be back ‘stronger and faster next year’.

Whilst surfing in Hawaii, Marovt recalls feeling a sudden pain in his spine and after going to the bathroom, he tried to get up but couldn’t and fell on the floor.

Despite being diagnosed with surfer myelopathy, “an injury that only happens in Hawaii to professional athletes and only on the first day of surfing”, Marovt aims to inspire by dominating feats which he was told would be impossible.

Congratulations Tim!

Welcoming a total of 42 dogs, Malta Records jury member Jeffrey Saliba recognised the ride and awarded the organisation responsible with a national award.

Dec 11 2022 Share

The Junior Eurovision Song Contest will be taking place in Yerevan, Armenia today and Malta’s very own Gaia Gambuzza will be representing the island with her track ‘Diamonds In The Skies’.

The thirteen-year-old Mosta resident earned her spot representing Malta back in October after emerging first from a list of 16 local Junior Eurovision hopefuls.

Her synth pop, space-esque tune written by Matthew James Borg, has had quite a positive reception amongst Eurovision fans, with locals eagerly awaiting the moment she hits the stage.

Today’s show will be broadcast live at 4PM CET and Gaia will go on fourth on this afternoon’s running order. Unlike the larger Eurovision Song Contest, you can actually vote for Malta, with voting now open on jesc.tv together with a recap of all songs.

GOOD LUCK GAIA!
