On another surprising result, in women's discus throw Anagnostopoulou finished 3rd behind Robert-Michon and Muller for 9 points. Tsakonas finished 4th in the 100m finals, good effort from him. I would expect him to win the 200m.

Both Stefanidi and Papachristou won their respective events to give Greece maximum 11 points (22 points total). Surprisingly, Kyriazis finished 2nd in men's javelin throw outdueling Olympic Champion Rohler to grab 10 points. I seriously think Kyriazis has serious potential to be one of the top javelin throwers in the world.

Does points count in qualifying or just only in the finals?

Oh my God! I never imagine the women's team are playing this good! In fact, better than the men's! lol

That will be a big blow At least in the World Championship we get to see Usain Bolt one last time. : D

Will he be able to compete in Paris for the Diamond League Meeting?

I expect Greece to finish well above the bottom 3 to avoid relegation to the FIRST LEAGUE.

In Patra, Tentoglou jumped to 3rd all-time (World Jr. record) in men's long jump at 8.30m.

Let's hope Greece can win out all of their remaining matches. Even if Greece is unseeded, some of the seeded teams are beatable and Greece can qualify. Just pray France and Portugal win their groups.

Damn, I was looking forward to see the Texas A & M student in javelin throw! Your right though, there is a reserve list of Greek athletes who will be in Lille, I just didn't have the time to post them.

France will win group A and both Sweden or Netherlands will fight for 2nd. Portugal winning group B and Switzerland 2nd Germany winning group C and Northern Ireland 2nd Maybe Serbia winning D and Ireland 2nd Poland will win group E. Montenegro will be out of the playoff due to the least number of points (10). In group F, England should win, 2nd place is up for grabs (Slovakia 12 pts, Slovenia 11 pts, and Scotland 8pts) Group H, Croatia should win, 2nd place is up for grabs (Iceland 13 pts, Turkey 11 pts, and Ukraine 11 pts)

OK, let's hope that will happen. Greece would prefer Sweden or Switzerland over those two.

hahahahaha what an arrogant prick!

lol France beatable? Have you watched EURO 2016?

Greece might move up a little, I just don't understand why EPO doesn't arrange friendly matches?

Well, I am from Patra and I should tell my cousin to go to the event.

If anybody have been following the standings for teams in playoff position, as it stands right now. Italy (16), Portugal (15), France (13), Iceland (13), Northern Ireland (13), Greece (12), Slovakia (12), Republic of Ireland (12). Montenegro would be the odd team out with the fewest points (10).

Greece should have no problem against Estonia. It's the next match I am worried about.

That miss by Mantalos still stings my eyes

Only for a tie for Bosnia ;)

2017 European Team Championships will be held in Lille Metropole, France June 23-25. Greece will take part in the SUPER LEAGUE along with 10 other countries, Russia of course is barred from the competition due to the doping scandal. Belarus Czech Republic France Germany Great Britain Greece Italy Netherlands Poland Spain Ukraine

Papadopoulos would have clocked Dzeko pretty good, he is an animal.

Just like in the previous WCQ match in Greece where Theofanis Gekas missed a similar shot and hit the post.

The remaining 4 matches in Group H for future reference. August 31 Greece - Estonia Belgium - Gibraltar Cyprus - Bosnia-Herzegovina September 3 Greece - Belgium Gibraltar - Bosnia-Herzegovina Estonia - Cyprus October 7 Cyprus - Greece Bosnia-Herzegovina - Belgium Gibraltar - Estonia October 10 Greece - Gibraltar Estonia - Bosnia-Herzegovina Belgium - Cyprus
