Following the disappointing
finish at the 1987 Games of the Small States of Europe,
Cyprus rose to the occasion when the island nation hosted
the Games in 1989 and dominated the medals table with 26
gold.
From an organisational point
of view, the 1989 Games were a huge success and helped
establish standards for future editions. Spectators turned
out in droves to cheer on the 675 athletes (an increase in
participation of 44% compared to the 2nd edition of 1987 and
of a whopping 204% compared to the 1st edition of 1985).
