Flesjå is due to arrive on February 10 and will remain for a week before setting off to an international event in South Africa.

Pafos Regional Board of Tourism said the award-winning athlete’s stay is a result of its cooperation with specific hoteliers and specialised sport event organisers with international scope active in Paphos, always with the aim of establishing the town as the ideal destination for high-level athletes.

It also noted that more international athletes were expected in Paphos over the coming weeks.
