🇲🇹 Maltese success in Italy in memory of Donato Sabia 🇮🇹

Two Maltese athletes were invited to compete at the National Athletics Meeting dedicated to the late Donato Sabia, held on Wednesday 9 September at the G. Pastoressa School Field in Lauria, Basilicata.

🥇 Jared Micallef won the 800m in 1:47.50, while 🥇 Matthew Galea Soler took victory in the 400m in 47.61.

The occasion carried a special significance for Malta. Donato Sabia and his family lived in Malta between 1998 and 2001, during which time he coached several of the country’s leading athletes, including Dierdre Farrugia, Mario Bonello, Xandru Grech, Rachid Chouhal and Fabio Spiteri.

A two-time Olympic finalist and one of Italy’s finest 400m and 800m runners, Donato sadly passed away from COVID-19 in 2020. Yet his influence continues to be felt in Malta, through the athletes he coached, the knowledge he shared and the friendships he built.

It was therefore particularly fitting to see Maltese athletes win the 400m and 800m in his memory – the very events in which Donato had excelled himself. ❤️

Athletics Malta also extends its warmest thoughts to Donato’s wife Daniela and daughters Ilenia and Chiara, whose loss is shared by so many who knew and admired him.

A special day of athletics, but above all, a beautiful reminder that a coach’s legacy lives on through the athletes he inspires. 🇲🇹❤️🇮🇹

🇲🇹 The Training Camp for Athletics Malta’s Platinum Young Athletes comes to an end in Cles, Italy. 🇮🇹

Six days of training, learning, challenges and experiences for a group of boys and girls aged 14 to 17, designed to develop far more than just athletic performance.

On the track, our young athletes worked on mobility, running mechanics, footwork, hurdles, sprinting, throws and strength alongside Maltese coaches and specialist Italian coaches.

Away from the track, the development continued.

🧗 Flying Tree Top Adventure Park challenged confidence, courage and problem-solving.
🌊 Rafting demanded teamwork, communication, decision-making and responsibility.
⛰️ A mountain hike to 2,200m tested resilience, determination and the ability to support one another.

Because the long-term vision of our Youth Technical Committee goes beyond developing faster and stronger athletes.

At this important stage of their development, our aim is to use sport to help shape better individuals — young people who are resilient, responsible, independent, coachable and proud to represent Malta.

Performance matters. But the person behind the performance matters even more. 🇲🇹

A special thank you goes to our dedicated local coaches Kevin Galea, Jeremy Spiteri and Luca Falzon, whose commitment and work were instrumental throughout the camp, together with our Technical Consultant Antonio Laguardia and Italian specialist coaches Giorgio Ripamonte and Sergio Bounvecchio, for sharing their knowledge, expertise and experience with our young athletes.

Better athletes. Stronger individuals. One team. 🇲🇹
