Cypriot Athletes Achieve Success at Junior World Championships
At the 21st World Junior Athletics Championships in Oregon, two Cypriot athletes delivered impressive performances. Alexandros Ghamrawi qualified for the hammer throw final with a throw of 72.38m, while 17-year-old Marina Hadjicosta won bronze in the discus category. Hadjicosta spoke openly after her success about her adoption and Cypriot identity and condemned racist comments she subsequently received on social media.
