Maria Panayi – is a graduate of Sport and Physical education.

I have been involved in sports from a very young age and especially with martial arts like Tae Kwon do and Hapkido. From 2016 I had the chance to get to know the sport of Stand-up Paddling from Costas Symeonides. From there I had the chance follow a very good and competitive career in the sport and rank good positions in both Greece and Cyprus events.

Currently I am working at KOA at the department of “Sports for all” at the area of Famagusta as a coach of “Hapkido” and a stand-up paddle coach at Begafigo Sailing club.
