Watch: Giacomo Does It Again: 8-Year-Old Boy Takes On Xlendi’s Ġostra

Giacomo Gatt, the young Gozitan boy whose daring attempt at the traditional ġostra went viral two years ago, has taken on the challenge once more.
On a non-greased pole, he made it all the way to the edge of the wooden beam, a promising warm-up for the official ġostra held in Xlendi yesterday during the feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel.
The moment was captured by his proud father, Xlendi locals delighted to share a special family moment with the Maltese public.
Giacomo’s original attempt back in 2023 drew global attention, garnering over 24 million views.
