So much I want to see Tentoglou break that elusive Greek national outdoor record from Louis Tsatsoumas, his opportunity is winding down.

Dragomirova finished 11th place at 4120 points Tentoglou once again cannot win a medal at the World Indoor Championships, finished 6th place at 8.19. Is this possibly the end of his illustrious career?

The only record she did break today was at shot put, which in that discipline it's her bread and butter. 15.40 was her mark which is an individual national record in the pentathlon. In the hurdles she only finished at 8.76 (13th place) and 1.69m at the high jump (11th place). Right now, she is at 8th place with 2691 points.

AEK are facing Spanish side Rayo Vallecano, it's a 50/50 chance AEK can advance into the semifinals.

Karalis got his silver medal for the second straight year at the World Indoor Championship at 6.05.

Both Roumitsos and Spanoudaki performed poorly at the tracks this morning. Roumitsos finished 40th place at 7.85 Spanoudaki finished 36th place at 7.36 Merlos finished 8th place at 2.22

Panathinaikos got hammered in Spain 4-0. AEK lost at home 2-0 despite the 4-0 away win in Slovenia. That will not help their coeffient rankings. On the bright side, Sigma Olomuc and Sparta Praha are out.

Ahahahahaha Pantazis is just awful! 15.45 is his best jump of the day? How in the world did he get 16.71 this indoor season? It's going to be a long time before they can find a triple jumper who can be as good as Dimitris Tsiamis. I was being too generous thinking he was going to reach 16.20.

Aryiro Strataki owns the Greek NR in the women's pentathlon at 4,550 points. Dragomirova has a PR of 4,176 points. That's a tall order to achieve it. Here are the breakdown from Strataki's NR. 60 Meter Hurdles - 8.47 High Jump - 1.75 Shot Put - 14.50 Long Jump - 6.14 800 Meters - 2:15.21

I do see 2 medals here, Karalis will likely get one, Tentoglou should bounce back and get one. The athletes on the track will not likely pass the heats. Pantazis will not pass over 16.20m, as I know he never comes through in major athletics competitions. Merlos is in fine form, it all depends what he can do. Although, I don't see him medal and won't go past 2.26m. Dragomirova has made history in becoming the first Greek woman to take part in the women's pentathlon at the World Indoors. I hope she improves on her PB for total points and get a good position.

I better hope she is alright, because the Greek women's 4x100 relay team will be taking part at the World Athletics Relay May 2-3 in Gaborone, Botswana

The only Greeks who won the individual medals were from the Under 23. Georgios Papanastasiou won bronze in the hammer throw and Maria Rafailidou won silver in the shot put. In the European Athletics Throwing Cup, the Greek men's team as a whole won gold medal over Germany and Italy with 4394 points thanks to some positive results from all 4 of the senior men's competitions. The athletes awarded the gold medal are: Christos Franzeskakis Michail Anastasakis Dimitris Pavlidis Dimitris Tsitsos Iason Macherias

The schedule for our Greek team in Torun, Poland (Local Time) Friday, March 20 19:35 Andreas Pantazis - Men's Triple Jump Saturday, March 21 10:20 Christos Panagiotis-Roumitsos - Men's 60 Meters Hurdles 11:05 Rafaela Spanoudaki, Dimtra Tsoukala - Women's 60 Meters 12:15 Antonios Merlos - Men's High Jump 18:25 Emmanouil Karalis - Men's Pole Vault Sunday, March 22 10:05 Anastasia Dragomirova - Women's Pentathlon 19:12 Miltiadis Tentoglou - Men's Long Jump

Andreas Pantazis gets the wild card and so did two others Dimitria Tsoukala (Women's 60 Meters) Christos Panagiotis-Roumitsos (Men's 60 Meter Hurdles)

As it stands after qualification period is over, Emmanouil Karalis and Miltiadis Tentoglou are in via entry standard, while Rafaela Spanoudaki and Antonios Merlos are in via top list. Andreas Pantazis sitting out the top 16 at 18 despite having the same mark with the Cuban and the Zimbabwean athlete at 16.71m. I believe he will likely get the wild card. George John Franks I believe will skip the event due to his collegiate athletics commitments. Unless he changes his mind.
