JAKARTA The high-jump athlete of Cyprus, Despoina Charalambous or familiarly called Tanja Lambay, immediately shocked TikTok and was immediately liked by many of his followers on the social media platform.

The figure who is now 22 years old has just started his career in athletics. He became known to many people after representing his country on several important stages of international sports.

Most recently, he participated in the Commonwealth Games (British Commonwealth Games) which took place in Birmingham last year.

Videos of him participating in the competition are now getting busy on TikTok. Uploads featuring beautiful Tanja's face were harvested with many praised comments.

"Obviously," wrote one of the TikTok social media users who was confiscated by The Sun.

"You're shining," wrote another user.

Tanja Lambay is actually not the name that was brought up from the birth of the athlete. The report wrote, Tanja was actually born with the real name Despoina Charalambous.

He is known to always show high ambition in the field he is currently in. It was this ambition that then succeeded in driving him through the high jump ranking in 2021.

"Ending this season with an experience I will never forget. I can always be better, jump higher, and achieve more achievements," he wrote at the time on his Instagram account.

"However, I must not feel less satisfied with myself and my performance. I maintain the ninth U-23 position in Europe. The knowledge I learned, must continue to be developed."

"I want to thank my coach Agni Charalambous, family and friends for their support. Thank you. This is really not real!" he added.

Agni Charalambous, who is currently 47 years old, was Tanja's predecessor in the Cyprus national team. He previously also represented Cyprus on various world championship stages.

He is a former national champion and contestant for the 2000 Sydney Olympics. When he appeared in Australia at the time, Tanja was only four months old.
