Tenishia Thornton wins Atlas Youth Athlete of the Year Award 2020
15-year old weightlifter Tenishia Thornton has been named as the first winner of the Atlas Youth Athlete of the Year. She won this prestigious award after a combined vote by a panel of three sports journalists and a public vote which was held online over the past weeks. Thornton was the only athlete in 2020 who managed to scoop two awards in March and November respectively.
Upcoming football star Haley Bugeja was the overall runner up, followed by gymnast Tara Vella Clark to complete an all-female podium.
The presentation to Tenishia Thornton was made by Matthew Von Brockdorff CEO of Atlas Insurance. Malta Sports Journalists Association officials Sandro Micallef and Lorraine Cunningham were also present for the presentation.
