HSH Prince Albert attended the Games of the Small States of Europe in Malta on Tuesday, a day that saw Monaco’s athletes win 10 podium places.
European states with much larger populations are included in the event: Andorra, Cyprus, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Malta, Montenegro and San Marino, as well as Monaco.
Speaking to Monaco Info, Prince Albert said: ““The first medals have come, which is a good omen. There is a great team spirit in our delegation, a competitive spirit, but also joy in participating in this big event. Our delegation is proof of a great vitality and cohesion in sport in the Principality.”
