Athens-KiteSurf Olympic champion Valentin Bontus returned to the water in Paros (Greece) after the cruciate ligament rupture moved into skiing. The 24-year-old already set the time for his competition comeback. If everything goes according to plan, he wants to start in Fortaleza (Brazil) at the end of January 2026 and collect knowledge of the district, because the following year the tickets for the 2028 Olympic Games are awarded.
