A breath away from a medal: Cypriot equestrianism takes a big step

Alexa Stais secured fourth place in show jumping at the Mediterranean Games, marking Cyprus's historic debut in the sport at the event. Riding her nine-year-old mare, Kantu, Stais narrowly missed the podium in a highly competitive display. This achievement builds on Cyprus's previous success at the 2023 Balkan Championships and highlights the growing potential of Cypriot equestrianism on the international stage. The success is expected to promote wider interest in the sport within Cyprus.
