This competition, which was of a high standard, included National teams of Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary, Ukraine, Switzerland and Belgium together with a representation of some clubs.

During this competition, Mya Azzopardi and Mikela Riolo placed 2nd in the duet competition out of a total of nine duet performances. Following this success, synchro team Malta managed to make yet another podium performance placing third in the team event! Mya Azzopardi also managed to secure an encouraging 5th place overall in the Solo event from a total of eleven solo performances.

Well Done to the Maltese synchronised swimming team which was made up of Mya Azzopardi, Mikela Riolo, Andria Friggieri, Ingrid Djincharadze, Vanessa Mairangas, Pearl Calleja, Raisa Baldacchino, Lisa Fenech, Amy Grech, and Hayley Camilleri. A great result indeed which augurs well to this up and coming sport.

A great well done to the efforts and dedication of Synchro coaches Saho Harada and Anja Kuhn whose sterling work and professionalism are an example for all!
