Team Malta made its debut in a GSSE in the discipline of rhythmic gymnastics when Alyona Draguyza and Lauren Agius took to the stage in the qualifiers for hoops, clubs, and ribbon.

Despite being a GSSE, the competition attracted athletes from Cyprus and San Marino who have enjoyed some impressive results at world standings.

Eight athletes from every apparatus progressed to the final scheduled for today.

In the hoops, Draguyza scored 18.000 to finish 15th from 17 participants.

Maria Avgousti, of Cyprus, topped the table with 25.600.

In the ball competition, Draguyza was 13th when she received a score of 20.000, just ahead of Agius who scored 19.200.

The Maltese duo were then in action in the clubs and Draguyza scored 21.555 to finish 14th while Agius was 16th on 18.700.

The final apparatus of the day was the ribbon and here Agius produced a composed display that was not fully rewarded by the judges who only assigned 18.350 to finish 15th.
