Greek team to head to Madrid This is not a very strong group in my opinion I like the fact they are using many young athletes to perform Men's 100 Meters - Sotirios Garagannis 200 Meters - Vasilis Myrianthoupoulos 400 Meters - George Franks 800 Meters - Charilambos Lagos 1500 Meters - Giorgios Matzaridis 5000 Meters - Kostas Stamoulis 3000 Meter Steeplechase - Nekatrios Kolios 110 Meter Hurdles - Anastasis Iliopoulos 400 Meter Hurdles - Dimitris Levantinos High Jump - Antonios Merlos Pole Vault - Emmanouil Karalis Long Jump - Miltiadis Tentoglou Triple Jump - Andreas Pantazis Shot Put - Kostas Gennikis Discus Throw - Dimitris Pavlidis Hammer Throw - Ioannis Korakidis Javelin Throw - Dimitirs Tsitsos 4x100 Relay - Garagannis, Myrianthopoulos, Panagiotopoulos, Vrontinos, Papamargaritis, Volikas Women's 100 Meters - Polyniki Emmanouilidou 200 Meters - Polyniki Emmanouilidou 400 Meters - Alexia Papavassiliou 800 Meters - Georgia Despollari 1500 Meters - Anthi Kyriakopoulou 5000 Meters - Melissa Anastasakis 3000 Meters Steeplechase - Vasiliki Kallimogianni 100 Meter Hurdle - Sofia Iosifidou 400 Meter Hurdle - Laura Zenegia High Jump - Tatiana Gusin Pole Vault - Ariandni Adamopoulou Long Jump - Natalia Besi Triple Jump - Oxana Koreneva Shot Put - Maria Rafailidou Discus Throw - Chrysoula Anagnostopoulou Hammer Throw - Stamatia Scarveli Javelin Throw - Elina Tzengko 4x100 Relay - Emmanouilidou, Spanoudaki, Tsoukala, Kamperidou, Iosifidou, Michaelidou 4x100 Mixed Relay Franks, Andreadis, Papavassiliou, Zenegia, Simoni, Ferra

Can we throw Ioannis Korakidis into the mix for leading Greece in the hammer throw? He throw a Personal Best of 76.14 today in Trikala.

Mantzouranis is focusing on the European Under 23 Championship and the World Championship. Zaltos would definitely be a good choice, but I respect his decision. I think Franzeskakis should get the nod. He did well in 2021. Anastasakis isn't doing so well this season he is likely the odd man out for Tokyo since only three Greek hammer throwers can go unless he somehow throws over 78.20.

Zaltos won the NCAA title with a new personal best of 78.08, just 12 cm short of the entry standard for Tokyo 2025. Mantzouranis finished second at 76.96. Both were outstanding this season. Question now is who will lead the charge for Greece at Madrid this coming late June?

4 Greek athletes are competing in Eugene, Oregon for the NCAA outdoor track and field finals tomorrow June 10. The participants Angelos Mantzouranis (Minnesota) - Men's Hammer Throw Kostas Zaltos (Minnesota) - Men's Hammer Throw Dimitris Pavlidis (Kansas) - Men's Discus Throw Andrea Mita (Houston) - Men's High Jump

In the last 3 games, Greece looks virtually unstoppable.

Make that 4-0 lol

Ioannis Kyriazis could miss the upcoming 2025 European Athletics Team Championships in Madrid, Spain due to a shoulder injury during his meet in Nairobi, Kenya. He is waiting for an MRI to see the extend of the damage in his throwing shoulder.

No, that's Theopisti Pourliotopoulou, Greek supermodel. ❤️

Even though it's a friendly, I love the way these youngsters are playing with passion and a very attractive style of football.

I hope in 2 years from now Greece will be competing in the semifinals of the Nations League during the month of June.

Elina Tzengko won her 3rd consecutive Diamond League meet in Rabat, Morocco. Her winning mark is 64.60, if she continues with this form, she could be a favorite to medal in Tokyo.

Miltiadis Tentoglou starts off the outdoor season at Limassol, Cyprus with a jump at 8.27, which happens to be the entry standard at the World Championship.

The Greek clubs who will be going to UEFA for the 2025-26 season are 1. Olympiakos (Greek Champions) - Automatic Qualifying for the League Phase of the Champions League 2. Panathinaikos (Greek Runner-Up) - Second Qualifying Round of the Champions League (Non-champions path) 3. PAOK (3rd place) - After Olympiakos won the Greek Cup, PAOK claims the only spot for the third qualifying round of the Europa League. 4. AEK (4th place) - Second Qualifying Round of the Conference League 5. Aris (5th place via Conference league playoffs) - Second Qualifying Round of the Conference League If I made any mistakes in this post, please let me know.

Elina Tzengko improves her SB of 64.90 and now is currently 2nd in the world only behind Serbia's Adriana Vilagos Emmanouil Karalis improves his outdoor PB and NR of 6.01 Both performed brilliantly at the Diamond League in Shanghai, China.

Just like Pavlidis, he only makes big throws on U.S. soil lol

Elina Tzengko became the 3rd Greek athlete to qualify for Tokyo via entry standard as she threw 64.75 at the Diamond League in Xiamen, China.

Yes, and he only throws well over 60 meters on U.S. soil lol 😅

Houston fell short for it's first title in a 65-63 loss to Florida. It's mindboggling how you turn the ball over three times in the last three possession and to never get a shot off. This is heartbreaking to see them blow a 11 point lead with 11 minutes to go and can't hit clutch shots down the stretch. Well, Duke knows that feeling when they blew a 14 point lead with 10 minutes to play and a 6 point lead with a minute to go. 1983 all over again 😞

I will open this thread since my school the Houston Cougars are marching into the Final Four. The tournament will take place in San Antonio. They are looking to win it's first NCAA title.

Our World Cup qualifying group is easier than the others. It will be a dream for Greece to play in the city where I used to live (Houston). I got friends and family back home and I am planning to visit there.

This brought joy in my heart after I was gutted not to see Tentoglou get a medal in the World Indoor Championship. The Greek National Football Team was cooking from the start and the coach had massive balls to start most of his youngsters in a critical match. God bless Karetsas for choosing his countries main motherland over the country of his birth. His goal was out of this world!

For the first time at the World Indoor Championship since 2018, Tentoglou will walk away without a medal, finished 5th place with a season's best at 8.14. He looks off after he recovered from the flu. This better not be a sign of bad things to come. Iosifidou finished 34th place overall at 8.28, funny thing is all 6 of the hurdlers in her heat all qualified for the semifinals.

Despite a great performance from Karalis, he settles for silver. Duplantis is so difficult to beat him. He proves why he is the GOAT.

Emmanouilidou did not qualify for the finals, finished at 7.33. A personal best would have gotten the job done. Last person to get in was 7.17 from a Chinese sprinter.
