The President of the Republic congratulated Madalena Costa, who became European Artistic Skating Champion today, in the Senior category. The competition took place in Ponte di Legno, in Italy.
The Madeiran skater achieved this victory after winning the short program. The feat was highlighted on the official website of the Presidency of the Republic, on the Internet, where the praises were addressed to the athlete's performance.
Madalena Costa represents Portugal in the Senior category, having demonstrated a notable performance throughout the entire European competition. The European champion title represents the culmination of a distinguished sports career.
The recognition by the Head of State underscores the significance of this achievement for Portuguese sport, particularly given that it involves a sport less traditional in the country and an athlete from the Autonomous Region of Madeira.
