The fourth World Cup of his great career was won today in Hyeres by Cypriot Olympic champion Pavlos Kontidis.
According to a statement, finishing second in Saturday's medal race, Pavlos Kontidis won the gold medal in the Laser boats at the Hyeres World Cup.
It is the second time the 32-year-old sailor has won this race (the first was in 2017), which is considered the most important sailing meeting on the planet.
For the Cypriot Olympic champion, world No1 in Laser, it is the fourth World Cup gold after Melbourne (2016), Hyeres (2017) and Enoshima (2019).
Showing from this year's first World Cup in Mallorca that he is in good shape - he was 6th there - Kontides had an excellent race, only once being out of the top 10.
In the medal race he was second, behind Britain's Hanson who won silver just one point behind Kontidis (42b vs 43b).
The podium was completed by the British European champion Michael Beckett (50b), leaving the leader Buhl (54b) out of the medals until Friday (29/4).
Last December the British had prepared in Cyprus together with Kontidis.
