Young shooter William Chetcuti has been selected as Malta's flag-bearer for the opening ceremony tomorrow, the Malta Olympic Committee said yesterday.

Chetcuti is one of Malta's brightest prospects having stormed into the limelight with a fine performance in the GSSE 2001 when he won a silver medal in the double-trap event. Chetcuti also placed second in the Euro Championship.

Meanwhile, the Maltese contingent, headed by chef-de-mission Marie-Therese Zammit, yesterday attended the flag-raising ceremony at the athletes' village in Manchester.
