Local swimmer Maja Theuma has taken to social media to celebrate the official recognition of her S6 national records in the 50m, 100m, 200m and 400m freestyle, along with the 50m and 100m backstroke.

Earlier this year, the local swimmer competed in the Open European Para Swimming Championships in Madeira with a final in the S6 50m Freestyle with just a few milliseconds shy of her record. She achieved her national record in the 400m Freestyle at the Para Swimming World Series last March in Lignano, Italy.

It will continue to be a busy year for Maja Theuma, as she looks forward to representing Malta in the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games, taking place between 28th August and 8th September.

Wishing Maja the best of luck in Paris!
