At his first Olympic Games in 2004, he failed to qualify. But next year for the first time I reached the final of the World Championship and took the 10th place. In March 2006, he took part in the Commonwealth Games in Melbourne , where he showed the third result, followed by Canadian Mark Boswell and Englishman Martin Bernard .

In August 2007, won the silver of the Summer Universiade in Bangkok , losing to Russian jumper Alexander Shustov . 14 days later, at the 2007 World Championships in Osaka , he took third place, becoming the first Cypriot athlete - the owner of the World Championships in Athletics, and also setting a national record. Another bronze medal was won at the 2008 World Championships . The 2008 Olympic Games were unsuccessful for John; he could not reach the final of the competition.

In 2009, with a score of 2.29 m, he won the silver medal at the European Indoor Championship , which was held in Turin . Another world championship silver medal was won in Berlin .

At its third Olympiad took 13th place. In 2014, he won silver at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow , settling down in the final protocol for the Canadian Derek Drouhen ^[1] . Having qualified to the finals of the European Indoor Championships in 2015 , John was injured, after which he was forced to take a break in the competition for 4 weeks.

At the pre-Olympic European Championship in Amsterdam, due to back and foot problems, I couldn’t make a single effective attempt in the final. At the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro took 7th place ^[2] .
