Malta has taken part for the first time in the World Championships for Wheelchair Dancing, represented by Steven Fenech and Mandy Ghio.

The couple reached the semi-finals and placed ninth in the Latin American championships and 11th in the Ballroom championships.

The couple are now looking for sponsors for a wheelchair that will help them compete more effectively abroad.

The 2006 championships were held in Papendal, the Netherlands.

The IPC Wheelchair Dance Committee has proposed that Malta hosts the World Championships in 2008, the Malta Wheelchair Dancing Association said.

The association can be reached on 9995 8885.
