Antaeus7 Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Filippidis and Stefanidi were uncharacteristically performing poorly like never before. Karalis only need to go over 5.75 and the bronze medal was his. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackhawk Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 The four don't have to reach the qualifying limits. Their participation depends on rankings in the particular events after absences of qualified athletes are announced. Looking at the team I expect two medals for Greece (Tentoglou and Papachristou) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antaeus7 Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 The 4 athletes that I mentioned will be going to Poland along with middle distant runner Anastasia Marinakou (1,500 meters). So 20 in total. 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antaeus7 Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 (edited) On 2/24/2021 at 12:59 PM, Blackhawk said: Looking at the team I expect two medals for Greece (Tentoglou and Papachristou) Both athletes are favorites to win gold medals as they are European leaders in both of their respective disciplines. Watch for Kostas Zikos to make another potential finals in the men's 60 meters. In the women's pole vault, the whole field appears to be favorable for Eleni Polak to get a medal as she is entering the competition second in Europe with her personal indoor best of 4.71, only Holly Bradshaw of Great Britain has a higher mark leading at 4.88.

Antaeus7 Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 As expected, Tentoglou automatically qualifies to the finals with a mark of 8.04, finishing 2nd behind Montler who finished 8.18. Peristeris achieved a PB of 7.61 and finished 11th. Dimitrakis finished 11th in the heats with a time of 3:44.05 and didn't qualify for the finals.

Antaeus7 Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 (edited) Tsiamis makes the cut to the finals with a jump of 16.38 (6th place) while Andrikopoulos didn't finishing 13th with 15.61. Vasiliou won her heat with a PB of 52.76 and advances into the semifinals. Giannopoulou finished 6th in the heats at 2:08.62 and Marinakou finished 7th in the heats with a SB of 4:19.60. Tentoglou is competing for the finals and should give Greece it's first medal. The only opponent who can threaten him for gold is Tobias Nilsson Montler of Sweden.

Blackhawk Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Tentoglou with an early lead with a 8.35 m in first jump. Pretty much clinched a medal if not gold with this jump. Zakka failed to qualify for the final in the high jump. She jumped 1.87 m setting a personal best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackhawk Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Tentoglou won the gold medal with 8.35 m defending his title. He did not have another jump that counted (3 passes, 2 fails) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
