General Interest

General
FIFTH OLYMPIC GAMES
In 2016 he became the first sailor from Cyprus to compete in four Olympic Games, and is aiming to compete in his fifth Games in Tokyo. "Every time an Olympic Games ended, it was not clear if I would go to the next one. It's a big decision, because to go through all this, basically, I can't do a regular job since there are so many trips abroad and training that I can't do any profession. You must have a psychological balance to be able to manage it. Most importantly, I still like it. It's the biggest motivation." (balla.com.cy, 04 Nov 2019; parikiaki.com, 29 Sep 2019; rsxclass.org, 28 Sep 2019)
