Iron Mike Zambidis went to Paros on the day of the Holy Spirit in order to attend the annual young celebration as a guest of the Youth of the Church Zoodochos Pigi in Paros. The Metropolitan of Paros-Naxos Kallinikos awarded him for his athletic achievements and the promotion of our country all over the world through his international recognition.

It has to be noted that Iron Mike is the first athlete in active, awarded at this celebration of Paros.
