Cypriot athlete Pavlos Kontides has topped the Laser Sailors world ranking, as he is back in the top spot after eight months, and for the fourth time in his career.

The 2017 and 2018 Golden World Champion’s consecutive successes over the last year have brought him back to the top of the world ranking, where he returns after eight months. This is the fourth time in his career. He climbed to the top spot with 875 points, followed by Croatian Tonci Stipanovic, with 869 points. Stipanovic is on the same training team as Kontides. Britain’s Michael Beckett (852p.) and Eliot Hanson (843p.), are in third and fourth place respectively.

According to an official press release, in six races in 2022 and 2023, Kontides won four medals, a fourth and a sixth place, “showing unparalleled stability and consistency” that landed him on the top spot in the world.

Kontides is currently in Hyeres ahead of the second World Cup of the season, taking place between 24 and 29 April.
