Title
Pavlos Kontides, Cypriot Olympic Medalist, Commemorative Issue
Description
Pavlos Kontides was born in Lemesos, a sea port town from ancient times, so it comes as no surprise that he took up sailing from the tender age of nine.
His venture into competitive sailing began in 2007. He represented Cyprus at the Beijing Olympics attaining a respectable 13th place. He won gold at the World Junior Championships. In 2009 he won two Silver medals in World Cups and a Bronze in the Paneuropean Men’s Championships.
His crowning moment came when, competing in the Laser Category at the London 2012 Olympic Games, he won his and Cyprus’ first Silver medal and earned a well deserved place in the island’s sporting history.
He is an inspirational example to all young Cypriot athletes.
