Chris Stahl has won the gold medal in the European Masters Games (EMG) 2008 in the Swedish city of Malmö in the over-65 squash category.

Stahl – who plays his squash at the Marsa Sports Club – remained unbeaten in all his matches to be crowned European Masters Squash Champion 2008 and bring the gold medal back to Malta.

At the EMG 2008 more than 10,000 people from almost 50 nations took part in 28 different events during 10 days of competition.

The European Masters Games benefit from the patronage of the International Masters Games Association (IMGA), which is recognised by the International Olympic Committee, and which, through the European Masters Sports Association, embody the Olympic ideal that sport is a human right for people of all ages regardless of race, social class, gender and economic circumstance.

The term 'master' is an age designation and does not denote a level of sports proficiency or a particular sports achievement. The European Masters Games, take place every four years, are open to everyone.

The next EMG will be held in 2011 in Lignano, Italy
