Pavlos Kontides on Monday became the European champion at the Laser European Championship in Hyeres, France.
In the last race of the European Championship, Kontides finished second behind last year’s European champion, Mickey Beckett, from the UK, but ranked first in the overall competition rankings.
Kontides, the only Cypriot ever to win an Olympic medal, was in the top ten athletes throughout the European Championship’s races, since it began in Hyeres last Wednesday, November 16.
This makes him the top laser athlete for 2022, with three wins in total.
