My Motto: To live life to the full, push boundries while helping those around me.
About Me
My love with sport started when I was thirteen years old. Initially track and field events were the main priorities however that changed when sailing was introduced to me when I was fifthteen years old.
In 2001 I became a member at the Kyrenia Nautical Club where my preperation for qualifying for the 2004 Olympic Games began. After many hours of hard work and sacrifice my efforts were rewarded after I became the first Cypriot women sailor to qualify for the Olympics in which I finished in 21st place.
My aim for the 2008 Olympics in Beijing is to finish among the top 10 sailors in the RSX class.
I would like to extend special thanks and greetings to my family and friends for being there for me to the people and organisations that have supported me, specifically:
- The Cyprus Sports Organisation (KOA)
- The Cyprus Olympic Committee
- The Cyprus Yachting Organisation
- Visitayianapa.com
- COOP Central Bank
- SPE Strovolou
- Municipality of Karava
- Pokka Coffee, Mr Pantelis Konstantinou
- Captain Markos
- Nikos & Maro Hatzistefanou
- Damianou & Costas Hatzidamianou
