SWIMMING – THE St Chris Sharks dominated across multiple races and topped the overall medal table in the 10th St Chris Charity Swim Gala, one of the largest and most highly attended swimming events in Bahrain, held at the primary campus.
Organised by the St Chris swim team, the event attracted nearly 400 swimmers representing 17 schools and clubs from across the region.
The friendly yet competitive atmosphere spurred remarkable achievements, resulting in dozens of personal bests and several broken school records.
The St Chris Sharks bagged an incredible 20 gold, 17 silver, and 22 bronze medals, while also setting an extraordinary 262 personal best times.
Sebastian Stroh was amongst the stars of the event, setting three new school records.
“This was, without a doubt, our largest and most successful charity gala to date,” St Christopher’s School Bahrain head of aquatics Yavor Zahariev told the GDN.
“Our coaches are immensely proud of every swimmer who competed with such courage, determination, and team spirit.”
Zahariev thanked the school’s swim coaches, the parent volunteers, and the participants who contributed to the event’s success.
