Water Skiing in Ta’Quali

All tourists as well as the locals who want to cool down and have fun under the scorching summer sun may have in the near future, a new option as the proposal for the building of the Ta’Quali finally gets the green light.
The application the Malta Environment and Planning Authority received is generally related to the larger tract of property beside the Flower Power nursery and is planned to be a family-oriented sports complex. This sports complex is said to include basketball and tennis courts, rock-climbing and rugby grounds. However, the most awaited is its water skiing complex.
The idea about Ta’Quali is to develop an all-season ski complex placed in a climate-controlled environment. This project is said to be promoted as a proposal which largely encourages sports-oriented and leisure projects.
According to organizers of this project, the ski-complex would definitely be using a massive amount of energy and water to run. Nevertheless, the local company organizing the project said that the project will be backed up by their British investors. The company even explains that the development of the project is eco-friendly because it will be using recycled water and solar. For this reason, people will definitely have fun without worrying about the environment.

‘I Am…’ is a TV program that showcases the achievements of both teens and adults. It airs in Connecticut as well as other US states. A few nights ago ‘I Am…’ featured champion water skier Alex Laurentano. The show was entitled: ‘I Am a Champion Water Skier’.

Twenty year old Laurentano has been water skiing since she was a toddler and loves her swimwear. Her most recent achievement involves helping the USA Water Ski team to win the Pan American Championships. The event was held in Medellin, Columbia. It lasted for a week starting July 28 and was concluded on the 3rd of August. The Pan American Championships featured water skiing teams from Central and South America.

The beaming Laurentano had this to say about her Pan American win:
“I won five gold medals — for slalom, trick, jump, overall and team overall. I think my favorite event is probably jumping. It’s such an adrenaline rush when you jump — it’s like you’re flying.”

Laurentano grew up in Connecticut, but constantly traveled to Florida to train in Water Skiing. When she was 16, she left home and stayed in Florida to study and train. She says that water skiing has given her the chance to travel to all sorts of places around the world.  At present she is set to join more events including the Under 21 World Water Skiing Championships.
