\"Centara<\/a>Bangkok, Thailand, August 29, 2022 \/ TRAVELINDEX \/ Sophia Montgomery will represent Thailand at the Under 21 World Championships in Portugal this month. Centara Hotels and Resorts will co-sponsor Thai sailor Sophia Montgomery who is preparing to represent Thailand at the 2022 ILCA Under 21 World Championships in Portugal later this month.<\/p>\n

The sponsorship is part of Centara\u2019s commitment to supporting women in sport and young Thai athletes as they aspire to achieve sporting success on the world stage. Sophia, who will compete in the individual Laser Radial (ILCA 6) category, will join approximately 240 athletes from 41 countries participating in the world championships, to be held in the southern Portuguese resort town of Vilamoura from 21-28 August.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt Centara, we aim to inspire people to follow their dreams and Sophia is the epitome of that aspiration with her incredible talent and optimistic outlook on life,\u201d said Centara CEO Thirayuth Chirathivat. \u201cSophia is an inspiration to all of us \u2013 she is already on the path towards qualifying for the Olympic Games in Paris in 2024, and in addition to her sporting achievements, she recently began studying and sailing at prestigious Harvard University.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sophia comes from a strong sporting background and also holds a black belt in taekwondo. But it was sailing that became her top sporting passion.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love sailing because it\u2019s so complex, with demanding physical, mental and environmental factors,\u201d Sophia Montgomery said. \u201cWith so many variables, every race is unpredictable and requires one to think on their feet at all times: anticipating, analysing and adjusting. I\u2019m so grateful to Centara for their sponsorship, which allows me to not only continue pursuing my passion but also my goal of representing Thailand at the 2024 Olympics.\u201d<\/p>\n

Born and raised in Thailand, Sophia attended Sarasas Ektra School and NIST International School, which she graduated from in May 2021.<\/p>\n

Centara\u2019s support for Sophia follows the company\u2019s sponsorship of Thailand\u2019s Chonburi Football Club for the 2020-2021 season.<\/p>\n
