The Malta Olympic contingent of athletes, coaches and officials who will be participating in the Olympic Games, left for Athens early on Wednesday morning aboard an Air Malta aircraft.

Leading the contingent was Mr Justice Lino Farrugia Sacco, president of the Malta Olympic Committee (MOC). Air Malta has just renewed its support for the MOC and was appointed as the MOC's official airline.

Among the athletes were Angela Galea (100m Butterfly), Neil Agius (400m Freestyle), Marcon Bezzina (-57kg Judo), Tanya Blake (800m Athletics) and Darren Gilford (100m Athletics). William Chetcuti (Double Trap), Mario Aquilina (Sailing Laser Class) and Chef-de-Mission Marie Therese Zammit left Malta earlier in the month and greeted the Malta contingent on their arrival at the Olympic Village.
