Minister for Equality, Employment, Culture and Tourism, Christian Santos, has congratulated Special Olympics Gibraltar's bowling team following an outstanding performance at the Switzerland National Summer Games in Zug.

In the bowling competition, Glen Wimbleton and John Joshua Buttigieg both won gold medals in their respective singles groups, while Adam Stewart secured a bronze medal in singles and teamed up with John Joshua Buttigieg to claim bronze in the doubles event.

I would also like to recognise the coaches and support team whose commitment and guidance have helped make this success possible. A special thanks must go to Annie Risso, National Director of Special Olympics Gibraltar, for the brilliant work she continues to do in supporting our athletes and creating opportunities for them to excel."
