  1. Sakkari is playing in her second WTA Indian Springs Final after a long 5 plus hour match stopped twice from rain delays, beating Coco Guaff 6-4,6-7 (5-7), 6-2. It's going to be a rematch from 2022 against Iga Swiatek. This competition is dubbed as the "Fifth Grand Slam".
  2. So proud of you guys, Greek clubs did the impossible. Now it's the Greek NT turn to make us proud next Thursday.
  3. I did some research on Kazakhstan, they are a decent side produced one shocking result in defeating Denmark at home 3-2. They lost twice to Slovenia 1-0, beat Finland away 2-1 and lost to them at home 2-1. Of course, Denmark beat them at home 3-1. Kazakhstan can score goals, but their defense is suspect. Sure, Greece can't take them lightly.
  4. UNBELIEVABLE!!! Never did I even thought it was possible for Olympiakos to come back from three goals down at home and to try to turn things around that quickly on the road. This has to be the greatest comeback in franchise history in UEFA club competition.
  5. Kyriazis did indeed get a medal, it is bronze finishing 3rd with a mark of 80.52m (season's best) and Greece ends the competition with 4. I would say this is the best showing ever for Greece in this event.
  6. Frantzeskakis won Greece's third bronze medal of the day with a mark of 74.96m. First time ever Greece ends up with three medals in the same calendar year of the European Throwing Cup. Tomorrow, the only athlete who could win a medal is Kyriazis. It all depends if he can rediscover his form from 2017, throwing over 80 meters on a consistent bases. Mouzenidis will likely not medal since he can't throw over 20 meters. His progression is very slow and isn't showing signs he has what it takes to be an elite shot putter.
  7. A rather disappointing showing for Tzengko as she finished 7th place (overall) at 57.79.
  8. Greece got 2 bronze medals this morning from Anastasia Dragomirova (15.43m) and Orestis Dousakis (68.78m) Tzengko performing next, Anastasakis and Frantzeskakis will perform later since there was a rain delay early.
  9. Schedule for the Greek athletes (Local time in Portugal) Saturday, March 9 10:00 Hammer Throw Men U23 Final - Dousakis 11:55 Shot Put Women U23 Final A - Dragomirova 14:00 Javelin Throw Women Final A - Tzengko 14:55 Hammer Throw Men Final A - Frantzeskakis, Anastasakis 16:20 Shot Put Women Final B - Maggoulia 18:00 Discus Throw Women U23 Final - Alexeeva Sunday, March 10 09:30 Discus Throw Men U23 Final - Adamakis 11:45 Discus Throw Women Final B - Anagnostopoulou 12:15 Hammer Throw Women Final B - Kosmidou 15:25 Javelin Throw Men Final A - Kyriazis 16:00 Shot Put Men Final A - Mouzenidis
  10. In the European Throwing Cup, I believe Greece will get 2 medals. The only time Greece won 2 medals in the same year of this competition was 2003 (Alexandros Papadimitriou - silver Steliana Tsikouna - bronze) and 2017 (Chrysoula Anagnostopoulou - bronze Paraskevas Baltzavaltis - bronze)
  11. Karalis seems to perform very well indoors. It's funny he has yet to qualify in the finals in either the European or World Championships. His bronze medal is much tougher to achieve than Filippidis did in 2014 when he won gold in Sopot, Poland without much of top stars in that compeition. Karalis had more competition and fought against the top athletes in pole vault like Duplantis, Kendricks, Nielsen, Obiena, etc. As for Tentoglou, I think he is due to achieve that Greek National Record outdoors. He will need plenty of meets to perform to have any chance. I love to see him repeat as Olympic Champion which has not happened since Carl Lewis from 1984-1996, 4 titles in the row.
  12. Karalis gets the bronze medal at the men's pole vault finishing at 5.85 m, which is his season's best. Greece finishes the competition with 2 medals. A great way to end this. Next stop will be the European Athletics Championship in Rome, Italy.
  13. Stefanidi finished 7th place at 4.55 m, her best days are over. Tsiamis finished 14th place at 15.95 m, he should retire for good. Pesiridou finished 34th place at 8.28 sec, never had a chance to advance past the heats. Karalis is our last Greek athlete to compete in Glasgow, he will need go over 5.85 to stand a chance at a medal. The heights in the men's pole vault today will be 5.50, 5.65, 5.75, 5.85, 5.90.
  14. Tentoglou is a two time World Indoor Champion! He beat Italy's Mattia Furlani on countback, both of them finished at 8.22, Tentglou bettered him with the second best jump at 8.19 to Furlani's 8.10. Carey McLeod of Jamaica made it interesting after landing 8.21 on his fifth jump to settle for bronze. In track, Douvalidis finished 27th place overall at 7.79 sec Emmanouilidou finished 28th place overall at 7.27 sec She was a bit unlucky, she could have taken third place and automatic spot to the semifinals just losing out to Poland's Magdalena Stefanowicz by 0.01 sec (7.26).
  15. 12 Greek athletes are going to Leiria, Portugal for the European Throwing Cup Men's Hammer Throw: Christos Frantzeskakis, Mihail Anastasakis Shot Put: Odysseus Mouzenidis Javelin Throw: Ioannis Kyriazis Men's Under 23 Hammer Throw: Orestis Dousakis Discus Throw: Artemios Adamakis Women's Shot Put: Maria Maggoulia Discus Throw: Chrysoula Anagnostopoulou Hammer Throw: Stavroula Kosmidou Javelin Throw: Elina Tzengko Women's Under 23 Shot Put: Anastasia Dragomirova Discus Throw: Maria Alexeeva
