This is going to be a tough competition for the Greek athletes, not seeing many medals here. Some of them are not perform as they would have liked. I can only see 3 medals from Drisbioti, Tentoglou, and Karalis.

Looks like Dimitra Tsoukala will get a chance to compete in the qualifying round of the 100 meters after a spot opened in that competition. She was already a member of the relay team.

Nikolaos Andrikopoulos will miss the European Championship after sustaining an injury.

One gold (Tentoglou) and two silver (Stefanidis, Karalis) medals for Greece at the European Championships.

I should be proud of those athletes who reached the finals in track events like Polyniki Emmanouilidou at the 200 meters. She tied two PBs at 11.21 at the 100 meters heats and semifinals and got a PB of 22.84 in the semifinals. She is the only track athlete who deserves a spot for Greece at the Summer Olympic Games.

Polyniki Emmanouilidou finally won her first ever medal at the women's 100 meters and it's BRONZE!

Good job by her. I also see her doing well in 200 meters. As for the rest of the athletes we had several getting into the finals, but there they had disappointing results.

[Antaeus7]

Even if she fails to medal in the women's 200 meters, it's not a disappointment as she already won bronze 2 years ago in Espoo, Finland.

There goes the gold medal hope
Angelos Mantzouranis fouled on all three attempts, he did this in the Under 20 European Athletics Championship as well two years ago. Talk about epic failure from an athlete who threw 78.61 this season.

On the bright side, two other Greek hammer throwers achieved their respectful medals. Sliver for Giorgios Papanastasiou and bronze for Ioannis Korakidis. Anastasia Dragomirova fell short of a medal in the women's heptathlon as she broke the Under 23 Greek National Record of 6045 points. Georgia Despollari could not repeat for a medal at the women's 800 meters, she also achieved an Under 23 Greek National Record at 2:00.90.

Maria Rafailidou was the only Greek athlete to medal at the Under 20 European Athletics Championship in Tampere, Finland. She won gold in women's shot put with a winning mark at 16.16. I think we got ourselves a good shot putter.
