He represented his nation Lithuania in two editions of the Olympic Games (2000 and 2004), and has placed outside the top ten in his respective sailing class at the ISAF World Championships and ISAF World Cup series. Guzys also trained throughout his sporting career for Bangpūtys Sailing Regatta in Kaunas.
