Linda Alvarez - Gibraltar

LINDA ALVAREZ WINS LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD in GIBRALTAR SPORTS AWARDS

Linda arrived on the Rock during the 1980’s as a keen badminton player, but her enthusiasm and competitive edge saw her get involved in several other sports including Pool and Bowling. Once her playing days were over she swiftly made the move ‘upstairs’. She became a key member of the committee which successfully oversaw the Sunshine Games in ’95, and soon after she replaced Freddie Chappory as President. More recently, Linda formed part of the Gibraltar Commonwealth Games Association and was present at the 21st edition of the Games on Gold Coast, Australia. Once again Linda’s determination and passion for local Sports were evident in last year’s highly successful NatWest International Island Games; Games which have become synonymous with Linda’s name.
Congratulations Linda from everyone at the IIGA family
