Spartan1 Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 (edited) Karagianni will miss the women's 100 meters hurdles event after she pulled a muscle in her upper leg during training. She went to get a cat scan to reveal the injury. This is a major blow for her as she was looking to add a potential PB. She is a very beautiful athlete. 🥰❤ Edited August 17, 2022 by Spartan1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartan1 Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 (edited) What a performance by Stefanidi! She has yet to miss in the finals! She is making Sutej and Murto work hard for that gold medal. Murto gets a NR for Finland All three ladies at 4.75 Edited August 17, 2022 by Spartan1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartan1 Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 WOW, another NR for Murto at 4.80! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartan1 Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Sutej gets bronze, Stefanidi is locked up for a silver at least. Going for 4.85. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartan1 Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 (edited) It's a silver medal for Stefanidi at 4.75 SB Congrats to Murto on her gold medal and NR for Finland. She earned it. Oh and she tied Stefanidi's European Championship record of 4.85 Edited August 17, 2022 by Spartan1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartan1 Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Tzenkgo automatically qualifies for the finals with an impressive throw of 61.28 Q (2nd best overall) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartan1 Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 (edited) Karalis failed to qualify, only finished 5.50 m (13th overall) Gnafaki got another PB at 56.14, not enough to qualify for the finals. (13th overall) Tryvizas fails to qualify from the heats at 21.00 (19th overall) Anastasiou qualify for the semifinals at 23.38 Q (13th overall) Edited August 18, 2022 by Spartan1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartan1 Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 On the final throw in the men's hammer throw, Frantzeskakis ends it on a positive note of 78.20, a new personal best. Finishes 6th place. Anastasiou finished 19th in the women's 200 meters semifinals at 23.60 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartan1 Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 (edited) Fantastic display by Gusin in the women's high jump qualification despite performing in the rain with leg cramps. 5th place at 1.87 and into her first major finals. All relay teams did not make it to the finals. The men's 4 x 100 did ran well, they are probably like one or two quality sprinter away from being a great team. Karyidi competing tonight, not expecting a medal, but hopefully a top 8 finish. Edited August 19, 2022 by Spartan1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackhawk Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Latest news is that Drisbioti has decided to take part in the 20 km walk. Might be another chance for a medal as she is in good form. Another hope for medal is Tzengo. If she throws over 63 meter I think she will be close to medal. Karalis has been a big disappointment this season following the great showing in the Olympics.

Spartan1 Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 (edited) The women's javelin throw final is wide open, no clear cut favorite. Crazy thing is that two of the finalists are over 40 and two are teenagers. Edited August 19, 2022 by Spartan1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartan1 Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 (edited) UNBELEIVABLE! DRISBIOTI WON GOLD IN THE 20 KM! SHE IS A TWO TIME EUROPEAN CHAMPION! She did it by getting a lifetime best of 1:29:03, defeating Poland's Kataryna Zdzieblo (who won both silver medals in the World Championships) in a close race. Antigoni became the first Greek athlete to win multiple gold medals in a European Athletics Championships.

Spartan1 Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Karydi finished 9th in the women's triple jump final at 13.54 She was never in good rhythm, but I am glad she made it to her first major finals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartan1 Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 ELINA TZEGNKO THREW A BULLET ON HER SECOND ATTEMPT!! 65.81!!!! NEW PERSONAL BEST!!!!! That has to be a gold medal throw! Fingers crossed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spartan1 Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 (edited) Second gold medal for Greece! Elina Tzengko was killing it tonight! How in Gods name did she miss the World Championships Finals? Silver goes to Serbia's Adriana Vilagos and bronze to Barbora Spotakova. Edited August 20, 2022 by Spartan1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartan1 Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Gusin finished 9th place at 1.86 Pesiridou did not advance into the finals, finishing 6th place in the semifinals heat at 13.19 As we conclude the European Athletics Championship, Greece ends up with 5 medals (4 gold 1 silver) Not bad I must say, aside from Tentoglou's gold and Stefanidi's silver, Drisbioti's double gold medal and Tzengko's impressive gold at age 19 were the highlights of this tournament. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackhawk Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 It was an excellent showing by Greece. I expected a maximum of 3 medals. What a pleasant surprise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
