Blackhawk Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 I don't think that is the final list. Baniotis and Kyriazis are battling injuries and might not be able to take part. They will not compete at the Greek championships this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antaeus7 Posted June 16, 2017 Author Share Posted June 16, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antaeus7 Posted June 20, 2017 Author Share Posted June 20, 2017 (edited) I expect Greece to finish well above the bottom 3 to avoid relegation to the FIRST LEAGUE. Edited June 20, 2017 by Molon Lave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackhawk Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Filippidis will not travel to Lille due to injury. Patsoukakis will take his place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antaeus7 Posted June 20, 2017 Author Share Posted June 20, 2017 Will he be able to compete in Paris for the Diamond League Meeting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackhawk Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 He will be out for at least 40 days after the surgery on his knee. There is a chance he will miss the world championships as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antaeus7 Posted June 21, 2017 Author Share Posted June 21, 2017 That will be a big blow At least in the World Championship we get to see Usain Bolt one last time. : D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackhawk Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Today we had qualifying rounds in some of the events. Unfortunately we missed qualifying to the finals in men's 400 and 400 meter hurdles, which means we will receive only two points for the standings. Results: MEN 100m: 4. Tsakonas 10.39 (Q) 200m: 1. Tsakonas 20.33 (Q) 400m: 11. Pappas 48.65 (DNQ) 110m Hurdles: 5. Douvalidis 13.54 (Q) 400m Hurdles: 11. Nakos 52.16 (DNQ) WOMEN 100m: 4. Keramids 11.54 (Q) 200m: 4. Belibasaki 23.27 (Q) 400m: 4. Vasiliou 52.52 (Q) 100m Hurdles: 2. Pesiridou 13.03 (Q) 400m Hurdles: 8. Dalaka 58.09 (Q) BTW you can watch live or videos of the competitions here: http://www.european-athletics.org/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antaeus7 Posted June 23, 2017 Author Share Posted June 23, 2017 Does points count in qualifying or just only in the finals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackhawk Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 They count, but since both athletes finished dead last they only get 1 point each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antaeus7 Posted June 24, 2017 Author Share Posted June 24, 2017 (edited) 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. Edited June 24, 2017 by Molon Lave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antaeus7 Posted June 24, 2017 Author Share Posted June 24, 2017 (edited) 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. Edited June 24, 2017 by Molon Lave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antaeus7 Posted June 24, 2017 Author Share Posted June 24, 2017 Update standing after 21/40 1. Germany 166 2. Poland 150.50 3. Great Britain 144.50 4. France 134 5. Italy 132 6. Czech Republic 127 7. Spain 116 8. Ukraine 115 9. Greece 111.50 10. Belarus 95 11. Netherlands 90.50 At the moment, Greece will remain in the Super League if they finish above 10th place.

Antaeus7 Posted June 25, 2017 Author Share Posted June 25, 2017 Greece will remain in the SUPER LEAGUE for the upcoming 2019. They beat Belarus by 8 points to avoid relegation. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackhawk Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 And also thanks to the fact that Russia was not allowed to compete. Otherwise we would be going down as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antaeus7 Posted June 26, 2017 Author Share Posted June 26, 2017 (edited) I know! They officially gave her 22.76, on the European Athletics website, it said 22.6-. We were hoping she broke the Greek national record. Edited June 26, 2017 by Molon Lave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackhawk Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Agreed. There are quite few already. Don't know what happened to Alexi Pappas and why she is not competing these days. She could really helped us in the middle distance events. I hope she did not become a Greek citizen just to compete in the 2016 Olymoics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antaeus7 Posted June 27, 2017 Author Share Posted June 27, 2017 I read she was doing other stuff other than running, like acting and writing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antaeus7 Posted May 2, 2019 Author Share Posted May 2, 2019 European Athletics announced that 2019 will be the last time the SUPER LEAGUE will contest of 12 countries. By 2021, they will reduce the number of nations competing in the SUPER LEAGUE to 8. Bottom 5 nations in Bydogszcz, Poland will be relegated to the FIRST LEAGUE. So in order for Greece to remain in the SUPER LEAGUE, they have to finish at least 7th place, which is going to be a tall task. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antaeus7 Posted July 27, 2019 Author Share Posted July 27, 2019 From August 9-11 will take place in Bydogszcz, Poland for the European Athletics Team Championships.
