Antaeus7 Posted August 6, 2018 Author Share Posted August 6, 2018 I had high hopes for Spanoudaki, maybe her previous heel injury may have affected her sprint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antaeus7 Posted August 8, 2018 Author Share Posted August 8, 2018 Elisavet Peseridou qualifies for the semi-finals with a time of 13.10, finishing 2nd in her heat Paraskevi Papachristou tops the women's triple jump qualification with a mark of 14.49 Lykougos- Stefanos Tsakonas won his heat easily with a time of 20.49 and move on to the semi-finals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe you are right. I was at the stadium to witness that great feat. Kelesidou should have won gold on that day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackhawk Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Tentoglou is the European champion in long jump. He jumped his season best 8.25 to accomplish this feat. Great job patrioti from Grevena. Tsakonas failed to qualify for the final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antaeus7 Posted August 9, 2018 Author Share Posted August 9, 2018 Anagnostopoulou just qualified for the finals in the women's discus throw with a mark of 56.52. Both Alexouli and Ifantidou have performed poorly in both women's long jump and javelin throw. Douvalidis qualifies for the semi-final with a not so impressive time of 13.68 (4th in the heat).

Blackhawk Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Belibasaki qualified to the final of 400 m with 51.23 seconds. So did Baniotis in high jump with 2.21 m. Pesiridou (13.00 sec. in 100 m hurdles) did not qualify. Polak finished last in pole vault after failing to clear the opening height (4.30 m). Stefanidi and Kyrikopoulous are still in the running for medals as there are 4 jumpers left in the competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackhawk Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Great showing by the two pole vaulters. Stefanidi is attempting 4.96 m. Failed on the first try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antaeus7 Posted August 9, 2018 Author Share Posted August 9, 2018 Tomorrow, we have 2 big events for our Greek athletes in the women's triple jump and women's 400 meter. Papachristou is one of the favorites to medal and if she continues to jump well above 14.40 or more, she has a great chance to claim gold. Belibasaki is competing in her first major track final in any event (no disqualifications this time :D). She looked great in the semifinals and has a very good chance to medal. She will need to run a clean race, hopefully breaking the 51 second barrier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antaeus7 Posted August 10, 2018 Author Share Posted August 10, 2018 2 out of 3 Greeks qualified for the finals Skarveli missed out in the women's hammer throw, finishing with a mark of 67.97 Tsiamis is in the men's triple jump finals with a mark of 16.69 Filippidis is in the men's pole vault fnals with a mark of 5.61 The Greek women 4 x 400 relay team did not make it, no surprise there.

Antaeus7 Posted August 10, 2018 Author Share Posted August 10, 2018 (edited) Paraskevi Papachristou is the European Champion!

Blackhawk Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Kind of doubt that Belibasaki will medal. We might be able to get one from Filippidis though on Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antaeus7 Posted August 11, 2018 Author Share Posted August 11, 2018 (edited) In today's 20 km race walk Papamichail finished 15th place Drisbioti finished 13th place In the men's high jump, Baniotis is jumping 3rd in the order. His seasons best is 2.31 (tied for 4th best in Europe). He will need to jump close to his season's best to have a chance to medal. In the women's 400 meter, Belibasaki will be looking to end Greece's medal drought of 12 years in track events. She has a potential since the event is wide open with no clear cut favorites. In the women's discus throw, we can all hope for Anagnostopoulou to have a good showing by finishing 8th or better. Only way she would medal is to throw past her personal best of 61.53, which is not likely going to happen.

Antaeus7 Posted August 11, 2018 Author Share Posted August 11, 2018 (edited) Maria Belibasaki won silver medal and broke Fani Halkia's Greek national record in the women's 400 meter of 50.45.
