Maria Lambrou (also known as Maroula Lambrou-Teloni or Greek: Μαρούλα Λάμπρου-Τελώνη,) born 23 February 1953 in Limassol, Cyprus, is a Cypriot athlete, best known as a long jumper. Her personal best of 6.80 m in the long jump, achieved in Cyprus on 24 May 1985, is a national record.[1]
Lambrou participated three times in the Olympic games: the 1976 Summer Olympics, the 1980 Summer Olympics, and the 1988 Summer Olympics. At that time[when?] she held six national records in Cyprus (100 m, 200 m, 100 m hurdles, long jump, heptathlon, and high jump) and three national records in Greece (long jump, 100 m, and 100 m hurdles).[citation needed] Lambrou also holds the national record for indoor long jump (6.42 m), achieved on 7 February 1976 in Piraeus, Greece.[citation needed]
In 1985, at the Games of the Small States of Europe in San Marino, Lambrou broke five Cypriot records and won several international medals. She jumped 6.80 m in the long jump, ran the 100 m in a time of 11.73 seconds, scored 5,062 in the heptathlon, finished the 200 m with a time of 24.39 seconds, and ran on the 4 x 100 metres relay team, which finished in 46.53 seconds, a Cypriot record. At those same games, she won the gold in the 100 m event with a time of 12.04 seconds and in the long jump with a leap of 6.30 m. At the Bruno Zauli Cup in Austria, Lambrou won the 100 m event.[2]
As a representative of Cyprus, Lambrou has won several gold medals at the Games of the Small States of Europe, the Mediterranean Games, and the national games held in Cyprus and Greece.[citation needed]
