Hi,
my name is Viktoria. I’m 14 years old, I live in Geneva, Switzerland and love to sail!
SUI1827,
born in Cyprus, I started sailing with my parents when I was 10 months old. Few years later (at the age of 6) I started sailing on my own, in optimist class and I fell in love with it.
Now I am part of Société Nautique de Genève (SNG) optimist competition team and I was one of the 8 young sailors to be selected in 2018-2019 to be in the Swiss Sailing Optimist Talent Pool Gold team (in 2017-2018 I was in TP Silver team).
Also for the 3rd time in a row (2017, 2018, 2019), I was selected to represent Switzerland at the European Optimist Championship.
Sailing is a big part of my life. I spend few months in a year away from school and home, but it is definitely worth the hard work and effort even when it means doing homework in between the races or missing social events when away sailing.
