As much as I was beliving the article, the end really made me think? I kind of belive her if she infcat did have a lot of dope tests and didn't fail any.

We all know how crooked the olympics have become.

Nikolaos Skarvelis breaks the Greek indoor record in shot put with a throw of 20.38 meters during a meet in Iowa.

Kostas Douvalidis broke his own Greek National Record in the men's 60 meter hurdles with a time of 7.59 in Metz, France.

Also Antigoni Drisbioti broke the Green National indoor record for 3,000 meter walk with 12:27.18

Big national record for Nikos Skarvellis in shot put. During a meet in Arizona he broke the record with a throw of 21.05 meters, making him the first Greek shot putter to break the 21 meter barrier.

He is incredible, glad I got the chance to chat with him and his sister Stamatia of their achievements. Soon, I think his sister will break the Greek national record women's hammer throw. I didn't want to mention this to Stamatia so it doesn't put pressure on her.

Emmanuel Karalis broke Kostas Filippidis Greek National Indoor Record this past Saturday at the Peace and Friendship stadium in Piraeus. 5.86 and has his sights set for a medal at the 2023 European Indoor Championships (Istanbul).

The 39-year old Drisbioti also broke the national indoor record in 3,000 meter walk with 12:18.26

Only 20 years old, Dimitris Pavlidis broke the Greek National Record in men's discus throw at 64.90, breaking Savvas Panavoglou's 21 year old record of 63.18.

Emmanouil Karalis jumps 6.00 m and breaks his own Greek record in pole vault.

[Antaeus7]

That was incredible! He will soon go beyond 6 meters, potentially win more medals. Unfortunately, if Duplantis competes, he stands no chance of winning gold unless he decides to sit out like the upcoming indoor competitions.

Karalis broke his own indoor NR at 5.90

I think he will break it few times this indoor season.

[Blackhawk]

5.92 meters for Karalis. New Greek Indoor Pole Vault record.

[Antaeus7]

Good news is that Armand Duplantis will not take part in the European Athletics Indoor Championship which means Emmanouil Karalis has a great shot for a gold medal. 

[Blackhawk]

Karalis is doing a Duplantis. Raising the NR by couple centimeters every time he competes. Today he broke the NR with a jump of 5.94 m in Berlin. He attempted 6.02 m, but did not make it.

[Antaeus7]

Karalis said in his interview that if the crowds at Peace and Friendship stadium is packed full, he believes he will go over 6 meters.

And he did it with a new Greek record: 6.01!!!

 

[Antaeus7]

There will never be another male Greek athlete to surpass 6 meters in pole vault. Karalis is a once in a generation athlete like Tentoglou. 

[Blackhawk]

Yet another national record for Karalis:  6.02 meters

At the same meet Duplantis breaks world record 6.27 meters
