22 Greek athletes are going to Budapest as we expected announced from SEGAS Men's Emmanouil Karalis - (Pole Vault) Odysseus Mouzenidis - (Shot Put) Miltiadis Tentoglou - (Long Jump) Christos Frantzeskakis - (Hammer Throw) Michail Anastasakis - (Hammer Throw) Kostas Zaltos - (Hammer Throw) Dimitrios Tsiamis - (Triple Jump) Andreas Pantazis - (Triple Jump) Nikolaos Andrikopoulos - (Triple Jump) Alexandros Papamichail - (20km & 35km Race Walk) Women's Polyniki Emmanouilidou - (200m) Dimitra Gnafaki - (400m Hurdles) Stamatia Scarvelis - (Hammer Throw) Elina Tzengko - (Javelin Throw) Aikaterini Stefanidi - (Pole Vault) Eleni-Klaoudia Polak - (Pole Vault) Tatiana Gusin - (High Jump) Panagiota Dosi - (High Jump) Antigoni Drisbioti - (20km & 35 km Race Walk) Kyriaki Filtisakou - (20km & 35km Race Walk) Christina Papadopoulou - (20km & 35 km Race Walk) Olga Fiaska - (35km Race Walk)

Check this out Alexandros Papamichail got an invitation to race the 20km race walk. Yet, he is nowhere near the top 50 for Quota World Rankings. If they can do this, why not give Polyniki Emmanouilidou a spot for the 100m since she is only ranked behind 11 eligible sprinters ahead of her? Elisavet Pesiridou indeed should be given an invitation over Nikolaos Andrikopoulos.

4 Greek athletes were given invitation by the World Athletics Andreas Pantazis Nikolaos Andrikopoulos Odysseus Mouzenidis Kostas Zaltos As I stated earlier, Zaltos will likely go to Budapest as a replacement from one of the hammer throwers who will likely miss the competition.

Emmanouil Karalis became the third Greek athlete from athletics to qualify for 2024 Paris Olympics after achieving 5.82m at a meet in Germany yesterday. That is his outdoor personal best and was going for a Greek National Outdoor Record of 5.92m (he failed on all three attempts) after he won his meet.

The final world rankings are in and 18 Greek athletes are heading to Budapest With the exception that Konstantinos Zaltos (he is currently at 37 Quota World Ranking) would likely be replaced because French hammer thrower Quentin Bigot could be out of the World Championship after surgery for his herniated disk. Ioannis Kyriazis dropped out of the top 36 from 33 to 40 and will not take part. Andreas Pantazis also dropped out of the top 36 from 36 to 40. The invitation for the two addition Greek athletes is possible later this week.

At the European Youth Olympic Festival, Greece set a new record for the most medals in these competitions with 13. 10 are from athletics, 2 from swimming, and 1 from gymnastics. Here are the list of the medalists: Gold - Dimitrios Antonatos (Boys Shot Put 5kg) Gold - Ioannis Gkartsios (Boys Triple Jump) Silver - Vladimiros Andreadis (Boys 400 m Hurdles) Silver - Ioulianna Roussou (Girls 800 m) Silver - Maria Rafailidou (Girls Shot Put 3kg) Silver - Serafeim Eminidis (Boys Pommel Horse) (Gymnastics) Silver - Evangelos Doumas (Boys 100 m Breaststroke) (Swimming) Silver - Despoina Pyrili (Girls 100 m Backstroke) (Swimming) Bronze - Nikolaos Sidirenios (Boys Hammer Throw 5kg) Bronze - Paschalis Gennikis (Boys High Jump) Bronze - Pavlos Kriaras (Boys Pole Vault) Bronze - Maria Rafailidou (Girls Discus Throw 0.5kg) Bronze - Evgenia Maria Panagiotou (Girls Pole Vault)

Miltos Tentoglou 2. Christos Frantzeskakis 3. Aikaterini Stefanidi 4. Antigoni Drisbioti (20 & 35 km) 5. Elina Tzengko 6. Panagiota Dosi 7. Tatiana Gusin 8. Polyniki Emmanouilidou (200 m) 9.

Kyriaki Filtisakou (20 & 35 km) 18. Olga Fiaska (35 km) 19. Emmanouil Karalis 20. Ioannis Kyriazis The ones who are in the world rankings, but are not lock up a spot Andreas Pantazis (36/36) The ones who are outside of the world rankings, but are still in the hunt Elisavet Pesiridou (42/40) 3 points behind Odysseus Mouzenidis (41/36) 17 points behind Nikolaos Andrikopoulos (38/36) 1 point behind Polyniki Emmanouilidou can only take part in the women's 100 m if she gets one of two invites from the World Athletics, which is common for this prior to the World Championships. I hope she gets in and race.

Miltos Tentoglou is the first Greek athlete from track and field to qualify for the 2024 Paris Summer Olympic Games via entry standard (8.38). Here is the entry standard list for the 2024 Olympics athletics Bold means adjustments from the 2023 World Championship MEN 100 m - 10.00 200 m - 20.16 400 m - 45.00 800 m - 1:44.70 1500 m - 3:33.50 5000 m - 13:05.00 10000 m - 27:00.00 110 m Hurdles - 13.27 400 m Hurdles - 48.70 3000 m Steeplechase - 8:15.00 High Jump - 2.33 Pole Vault - 5.82 Long Jump - 8.27 Triple Jump - 17.22 Shot Put - 21.50 Discus Throw - 67.20 Hammer Throw - 78.20 Javelin Throw - 85.50 Decathlon - 8460 20km Race Walk - 1:20:10 Marathon - 2:08:10 WOMEN 100 m - 11.07 200 m - 22.57 400 m - 50.95 800 m - 1:59.30 1500 m - 4:02.50 5000 m - 14:52.00 10000 m - 30:40.00 100 m Hurdles - 12.77 400 m Hurdles - 54.85 3000 m Steeplechase - 9:23.00 High Jump - 1.97 Pole Vault - 4.73 Long Jump - 6.86 Triple Jump - 14.55 Shot Put - 18.80 Discus Throw - 64.50 Hammer Throw - 74.00 Javelin Throw - 64.00 Heptathlon - 6480 20km Race Walk - 1:29:20 Marathon - 2:26:50

Polyniki Emmanouilidou - women's 100 m and 200 m Nikolaos Andrikopoulos - men's triple jump Odysseus Mouzenidis - men's shop put Ioannis Kyriazis - men's javelin throw

The Greek athletes to head to Serbia for the Balkan Championship with opportunities to boost their world rankings for the World Athletics Championship 2023 as well as the Paris Olympics 2024. Men's 100 m - Giannis Nyfantopoulous, Nikos Panagiotopoulos 200 m - Giannis Kariofylis, Sotiris Gkaragiannis 800 m - Chridimos Xenidakis, Giorgios Matzaridis 5000 m - Marios Anagnostou 110 m hurdles - Kostas Douvalidis, Christos Roumitsos 400 m hurdles - Dimitris Levantinos High jump - Antonios Merlos Long jump - Nikolaos Stamatonikolos Triple jump - Andreas Pantazis, Dimitris Tsiamis Pole vault - Ioannis Rizos Shot put - Odysseas Mouzenidis, Tasos Latifllari Discus throw - Jason Thanopoulos Hammer throw - Christos Frantzaskakis, Michail Anastasakis Javelin throw - Ioannis Kyriazis Decathlon - Aris Peristeris, Tzanis Andreoglou 4 x 100 relay - Ioannis Granitsiotis, Giannis Kariofylis, Giannis Nyfantopoulos, Nikos Panagiotopoulos, Sotiris Gkaragiannis Women's 100 m - Dimitra Tsoukala, Rafalia Spanoudaki 200 m - Artemis Anastasiou, Polyniki Emmanouilidou 400 m - Despoina Mourta 800 m - Irini Vassiliou, Georgia Despollari 1500 m - Melissa Anastasakis 3000 m steeplechase - Isavella Kotsechili, Nikoleta Rafailaki 100 m hurdles - Elisavet Pesiridou, Anais Karagianni 400 m hurdles - Dimitra Gnafaki High jump - Tatiana Gusin, Panagiota Dosi Pole vault - Nikoleta Kyriakopoulou, Eleni Polak Long jump - Vasiliki Chaitidou, Maria Stefanopoulou Hammer throw - Stavroula Kosmidou Shot put - Maria Magoulia Javelin throw - Elina Tzenkgo Heptathlon - Anastasia Dragomirova, Sofia Kamperidou 4 x 100 relay - Dimitra Tsoukala, Rafalia Spanoudaki, Polyniki Emmanouilidou, Artemis Anastasiou, Elisavet Pesiridou 4 x 400 relay - Dimitra Gnafaki, Irini Vasiliou, Despoina Mourta, Georgia Despollari

Ioannis Kariofylis was a pleasant surprise, he reached the men's 200 meters finals and got 5th place. He needed a PB of 20.84 to get this far. Nikolaos Polychroniou was the bright spot in the men's hammer throw, finished 5th at 71.50. Dafni Lavasa finished 6th place at the women's 10,000 meters.

Greece ended the European Athletics U23 Championship on a high note, grabbing three more medals to finish with four (1 gold 1 silver, 2 bronze). Elina Tzengko was no surprise in getting gold, she was the only javelin thrower in the contest over 60 meters (finished at 60.73). Panagiota Dosi was having an incredible run at the high jump, leaped over her personal best of 1.89 after a perfect start over 1.75, 1.80, 1.84 and 1.87. At the podium she sang the Greek anthem despite getting silver because Elena Kulichenko of Cyprus won the contest, which is a historic first at these Under 23 European Championship. After a disappointing 5th place finish at the 100 meters, Polyniki Emmanouilidou made sure she comes home with a medal and it's bronze at the 200 meters at 21.43. I have noticed from both of her final races, she needs to improve on her starts. Only 20 and will mature more in the coming years. Lucky for her, she is eligible for the next European Under 23 in 2025 at Bergen, Norway. She will be 22 at that time. There were some close calls by the 4 x 100 men's relay team (lost out to Poland by 0.03 seconds) and Maria Kassou from the women's 10,000 meters. They both finished in 4th place and could have added 2 more medals.

Polyniki Emmanouilidou hasn't been able to crack the top 48 at the World Championship for entry to the women's 100 and 200 meters. She is racing in the European Under 23 Championship, hoping to improve on her marks of 11.21 and 22.85 respectfully. Anything here past her personal best will significantly boost her points for the world rankings. Both female hurdlers Elisavet Peseridou (39) and Dimitra Gnafaki (40) are back into the top 40. Andreas Pantazis (34) and Nikolaos Andrikopoulos (36) from men's triple jump cracked the top 36 after both personal and season's best from the Greek Championship. Dimitris Tsiamis still remains at 29. All three male Greek hammer throwers are in the top 36 from Christos Frantzeskakis (via entry standard 78.20), Michail Anastasakis (17) and Kostas Zaltos (33). Stamatia Scarveli is locked up for the World Championship confirmed from SEGA website. Eleni Polak (33) from women's pole vault should be OK to enter along with Katerina Stefanidi (via entry standard 4.75). Tatiana Gusin from women's high jump dropped down to 33 from 29 and we will wait and see if she can survive the cut in 3 weeks unless she manages to improve on her outdoor personal best of 1.92. Panagiota Dosi has a chance to try to get into the World Championship. She will need to improve on her 1.88. She is competing in European Under 23 Championship. All of the race walkers are locked in. Antigoni Drisbioti - via entry standard from both 20 km and 35 km Kyriaki Fitisakou - via world ranking from both 20 km and 35 km Christina Papadopoulou - via world ranking from 20 km Olga Fiaska - via world ranking from 35 km Alexandros Papamichail - via world ranking from 35 km Just to make a note for the track events, the entry standard for the women's 100 meters is 11.08, 22.60 for the women's 200 meters, 12.78 for the women's 100 meter hurdles and 54.90 for the women's 400 meter hurdles.

LOL Tsitsidosa

The Greek Championships were held at Volos this season. Some very significant results for our Greek athletes who are looking to qualify for Budapest 2023. Kostas Douvalidis - 13.61 SB Elisavet Pesiridou - 13.05 SB Panagiota Dosi - 1.88 PB Andreas Pantazis - 16.91 PB (Legal jump +1.4) 17.19 does not count as it was wind-aided +5.2 Odyesseas Mouzenidis - 19.98 PB Ioannis Nyfantopoulos - 10.15 (Doesn't count as it was wind-aided +4.3) So 10.30 remains to be his SB.

Only the second time he advanced into the round of 16 at Wimbledon.

Did I read that Stefanos Tsitsipas is dating Paula Badosa?

40 Greek athletes will be heading to Espoo, Finland for the Under 23 European Championship.

The others mentioned will not likely make it unless they get an invite.

Well done to Greece! Finished the competition with 256.5 points. They survived in the first division, beating Belgium by 6.5 points. Belgium, Turkey and Norway are relegated to the second division, Ukraine, Lithuania, and Hungary are promoted to the first division for Madrid 2025. Greece performed well today and got some good to decent performance from Tzengko, Gusin, Emmanoulidou, and Kyriazis. Speaking of Emmanoulidou, she broke a PB in the women's 200 meters at 22.85. The young girl from Thessaloniki will soon break Katernia Koffa's NR. The results from day 3 Women's javelin throw - Elina Tzengko 59.40 (12 points) Men's high jump - Antonios Merlos 2.13 (7 points) Women's 200 meters - Poliniki Emmanouilidou 22.85 PB (14 points) Men's 200 meters - Ioannis Granitsiotis 21.18 (7 points) Men's shot put - Odysseas Mouzenidis 18.98 (6 points) Women's long jump - Vasiliki Chaitidou 6.10 SB (outdoors) (6 points) Women's 300 meters steeplechase - Isavella Kotsacheili 10:08.23 (5 points) Women's high jump - Tatiana Gusin 1.87 (11 points) Men's javelin throw - Ioannis Kyriazis 79.01 (12 points) Men's 5000 meters - Marios Anagnostou 14:17.29 (2 points) Women's 1500 meters - Dafni-Efthchia Lavasa 4:22.55 (1 point) Mixed 4 x 400 meters - Greece 3:23.10 (2 points) And congratulations to Italy in winning the European Teams Championship title. Happy to see our fellow Mediterranean neighbors victorious.

Greece started off strong in the first two events, then started to struggle a bit. Very disappointing results from Stefanidi, Pavlidis, Douvalidis, Karydi and Gnafaki. Was expecting more points from them. Big surprise from the women's 800 meters as Despollari got her PB and got some much need points in the middle distance event. Relay teams did very well, with a little help from some teams DQ from their respective competitions. Greece is now out of the relegation level and will need a much stronger performance on Sunday (Day 3). The results from day 2 Men's hammer throw - Michail Anastasakis 74.12 (14 points) Men's long jump - Miltos Tentoglou 8.34 EL (16 points) Women's pole vault - Katerina Stefanidi 4.40 (8.5 points) Men's 110 meter hurdles - Kostas Douvalidis 13.90 (5 points) Women's 100 meter hurdles - Elisavet Pesiridou 13.22 (10 points) Women's 800 meters - Georgia-Maria Despollari 2:02.31 PB (7 points) Men's 1500 meters - Sergios Diakostefanis 3:50.57 (1 point) Men's discus throw - Dimitris Pavlidis 45.79 (1 point) Women's triple jump - Spyridoula Karydi 12.92 (7 points) Women's 400 meter hurdles - Dimitra Gnafaki 56.63 (8 points) Men's 400 meter hurdles - Dimitris Levantinos 51.29 (3 points) Women's 4 x 100 relay - Greece 43.81 (10 points) Men's 4 x 100 relay - Greece 39.34 (8 points)
