Antaeus7 Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 (edited) It is officially confirmed from SEGAS that 18 Greek athletes in track and field will be heading to Tokyo. 9 of them are qualified thru world rankings Elisavet Pesiridou (35) Kostas Filippidis (23) Kostas Douvalidis (39) Emmanuel Karalis (26) Michalis Anastasakis (29) Christos Frantzeskakis (31) Stamatia Scarveli (30) Chrisoula Anagnostopoulou (32) Rafaela Spanoudaki (46 100 m/ 53 200 m) Dimitris Tsiamis (34), Elina Tzengko (36), and Tatiana Gusin (37) have missed out in qualifying for the Olympic Games. Also, I would like to confirm that the Greek National Basketball Team will likely miss out on qualifying after they lost to Canada (Host Nation) 97-91 in the opening game.

Blackhawk Posted June 30 Author Share Posted June 30 Tsiamis lost on the last day of qualifying as he was knocked out of 32nd position by some Uzbek triple jumper who jumped 17.02m yesterday and passed him in the rankings. The basketball team is still in position to qualify. all they need to do is defeat China tomorrow and then defeat the winning tem from the other group (Turkey/Czech Republic) and then win the final game. They played fairly well against Canada and could have won the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackhawk Posted June 30 Author Share Posted June 30 Anna Korakaki and Lefteris Petrounias will be the Greek flag bearers at the opening ceremonies. For the first time in history there will be one female and one male flag bearer for each country after a decision by the International Olympic Committee. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackhawk Posted July 1 Author Share Posted July 1 Eirini Vasiliou (400 m) received a spot in the Olympics after several athletes in the rankings withdrew. This pushed her to position 48 in the rankings, which is the last qualifying position. This makes it 19 Greek track & field athletes travelling to Tokyo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antaeus7 Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 Blackhawk, you were right about the basketball qualification. There is a semifinals after the group play. I thought it was just group winners only play in the finals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackhawk Posted July 1 Author Share Posted July 1 The game against China starts in 4 hours and is a must win. If we do win we will play the apparent winner of the other group Turkey after they defeated the favorite Czech Republic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soprano76 Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 Wonderful 2nd half comeback by Greece. Czech are not world beaters by any means so I think Greece has a good shot. Glad it isn’t Canada because they would just be too athletic for Greece IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paokarag4 Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 We only lost to Canada by 6 in the opening group stage match, but yes I agree the Czechs are an "easier" draw, while still being tricky. Amazing turn-around after the 1st quarter, we were awful early but really put them to the sword and looked a class above thereafter. 1 more to go!

Brklyngrk Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 They played really well. Calathes/Sloukas are deceptively quick and they play excellent team basketball. Czech did beat Canada so they will not be easy either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antaeus7 Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 16 hours ago, Antaeus7 said: The total of Greek athletes to take part in Tokyo have reached 82.

Antaeus7 Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 Congrats to the Czech Republic for qualifying it's first ever men's basketball Olympic Games. They fully deserve it. At least I am very happy Turkey isn't going. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antaeus7 Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 Dimitris Tsiamis has been added to the Greek athletics team which brings the total to 20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackhawk Posted July 13 Author Share Posted July 13 Our entry in the Mountain Bike competition has changed. Originally Dimitris Antoniadis was going to represent Greece, but a runoff race between Antoniadis and Periklis Ilias was arranged with the winner getting the spot in the Olympics. Ilias defeated Antoniadis in the race and he is the one going to Tokyo. In weightlifting Theodoros Iakovidis has qualified for the 96 kg competition after the whole team of Colombia was disqualified for doping, which pushed Iakovidis into qualifying position. There is a chance that gymnast Argyro Afrati might receive an invitation to compete in Tokyo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
