The participants will train in a professional way under the guidance of some of the best youth coaches on the continent.

With this great oppor- tunity given to me by the Malta Tria- thlon Federation Im ready to grasp all the knowledge about all three sports from the great coaches which will be coaching us and also from all other triathletes which will be attending the development camp. I would like to thank the Malta Tria- thlon Federation for helping me im- prove in the sport that I Love'. on a si- miliar note, Nina Zammit mentioned that 'I feel very excited about spend- ing these days completely focused on training with athletes from different countries. I expect to learn a lot from the guidance and the sessions with in- ternational coaches and to improve by training with athletes who have more experience. I also hope that the friends I make in this camp will be my future competitors in international events.' 'We are very excited for Nina and Shaun, as we are aware that this will be a golden opportunity not only for themselves, but also for the local Tria- thlon community', said Cyprian Dalli, President of the Malta Triathlon Fed- eration. 'The European Triathlon Union (ETU) is really supporting our Fed- eration to develop and achive new standards and this support is particu- larly aimed at the grassroot level, to sustain young talents and help them fulfil their potential. This partecipation together with the support and guidance in our increas- ingly-popular Malta Youth Triathlon Academy - MYTA is a clear indication of how the ETU has the development of young triathlon talent in Malta at heart' concluded Dalli.
