Kyriakos Dimosthenous (Greek: Κυριάκος Δημοσθένους; born March 4, 1980) is a retired Cypriot swimmer, who specialized in breaststroke events.[1] Dimosthenous qualified for the men's 100 m breaststroke at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, by achieving a FINA B-standard of 1:04.74 from the Greek Open Championships in Piraeus.[2] He challenged seven other swimmers in heat three, including 15-year-old Nguyen Huu Viet of Vietnam. He edged out Estonia's Aleksander Baldin to take a sixth spot by a tenth of a second (0.10) with a time of 1:05.54. Dimosthenous failed to advance into the semifinals, as he placed forty-sixth overall out of 60 swimmers on the first day of preliminaries.[3][4]
