Kiriakos Zotos finished 10th in men's shot put Irini-Ria Mihala finished 13th place timed 35:04.60 which is her personal best. Usually, long-distance running is not a strength for Greece. She could have a positive future in other long-distance running events. Only 19 years old!

In women's shot put Stamatia Skarvelis had better luck in qualifying for the finals with a throw of 15.79m.

Iliana Korosidou automatically qualifies for the finals with a throw of 65.34m. No such luck for Stamatia Skarvelis to join her.

Eleni-Klaoudia Polak just manage to grab the final spot for qualification by passing over 4.20 on her third try.

He did with a throw at 78.43 (Q).

So far today, Kiriakos Zotos qualifies for the finals in men's shot put. He will also compete in discus throw. In 30 minutes qualification of the men's javelin throw. I expect Ioannis Kyriazis to qualify.

As far as Karalis goes, he will be in the Under 20 European Championship in Grosseto, Italy.

Kenya is one of the worst countries to host a major track and field event (let alone youth level).

Stefanidi won the London Diamond League with a mark of 4.81. No surprise there.

There is the U.S. Open coming up in August, she never made it out of the first round just like the French Open.

In the upcoming under 18 World Championship in Nairobi, Kenya, the website has not posted the enter list of athletes. I will assume that Emmanoual Karalis will take part in pole vault after he won bronze in Cali, Colombia 2 years ago in the same event.

Final entry list for Greek athletes in the Under 23 European Championship in Bydgoszcz, Poland. MENS Zaharias Tsamoudakis - 20km race walk Konstadinos Koutsoukis - 400m Kiriakos Zotos - Discus Throw and Shot Put Nikolaos Gavriilidis - Hammer Throw Ivan Menglebei - Hammer Throw Ioannis Kyriazis - Javelin Throw Adonios Stilianidis - Long Jump Frantsi Latifilari - Shot Put WOMENS Irini-Ria Mihala - 10000m Anastasia-Panagiota Marinakou - 1500m Despina Mourta - 400m Iliana Korosidou - Hammer Throw Stamatia Skarvelis - Hammer Throw and Shot Put Theodora Arabatzi - Javelin Throw Eleni-Klaoudia Polak - Pole Vault

Sakkari was eliminated from Konta 6-4, 6-1. I think she is making good progress.

She beat Pliskova! On to round three!

Ioannis Kyriazis will be a heavy favorite to win gold at the Under 23 European Championship in Bydgoszcz, Poland. I'm not saying that because I am being cocky, it's because no one in that group has thrown better than 85 meters both season and personal bests.

Better showing than the one in the French Open first round.

I think this will be there second appearance at the World Championships. They also have an Olympic appearance too, host nation at the Athens 2004 games.

Emmanouel Karalis and Lykourgos-Stefanos Tsakonas will be taking part in the Paris Diamond League this coming Saturday.

I read she was doing other stuff other than running, like acting and writing.

Let's keep this in mind, Greece need to produce more top athletes by training outside of Greece, especially in the United States.

I know! They officially gave her 22.76, on the European Athletics website, it said 22.6-. We were hoping she broke the Greek national record.

Greece will remain in the SUPER LEAGUE for the upcoming 2019. They beat Belarus by 8 points to avoid relegation. :-)

In a stunning upset, Maria Belibasaki won the women's 200m!!! Bravo!!!
