Antaeus7 Posted March 2, 2019 Posted March 2, 2019 Filippidis should retire now, finished the competition without a mark. Aman!
Antaeus7 Posted March 2, 2019 Posted March 2, 2019 Baniotis gets the silver medal for Greece Karalis finishes 4th at 5.65 m Zikos won his semifinal heat at 6.64 to qualify for the finals 1
Antaeus7 Posted March 3, 2019 Posted March 3, 2019 Zikos finished 5th place in the men's 60 meters at 6.67 It was a tight race guys.
Antaeus7 Posted March 3, 2019 Posted March 3, 2019 Papachristou gets the silver medal, 2nd one for Greece She broke her personal indoor best at 14.50 m. Congrats!
Antaeus7 Posted March 3, 2019 Posted March 3, 2019 Oh my God! Douvalidis qualifies for the finals! Finished 3rd in the semifinals heat at 6.67 (season's best)
Antaeus7 Posted March 3, 2019 Posted March 3, 2019 Miltos Tentoglou is our European Indoor Champion! He did it in grand fashion, breaking Louis Tsatoumas indoor record of 8.23 to win the competition with a jump at 8.38. 20 years old and already dominating Europe.
Blackhawk Posted March 3, 2019 Posted March 3, 2019 Bronze for Kyriakopoulou in the pole vault. Stefanidi 5th who barely jumped 4.65m on 3rd try.
Antaeus7 Posted March 3, 2019 Posted March 3, 2019 Milan Trajkovic won the 60 meter hurdles, a first gold medal for Cyprus at the European Indoor Championships. Kostas Douvalidis finished 5th with a time of 7.65, just 0.02 seconds away from a bronze medal.
Antaeus7 Posted March 3, 2019 Posted March 3, 2019 Greece finishes the competition with 4 medals, well done! (1 gold, 2 silver, 1 bronze)
Blackhawk Posted March 3, 2019 Posted March 3, 2019 Not bad considering we only got one medal from the pole vault competitions where we could have easily gotten four!
Antaeus7 Posted March 3, 2019 Posted March 3, 2019 Filippidis and Stefanidi were uncharacteristically performing poorly like never before. Karalis only need to go over 5.75 and the bronze medal was his.
Antaeus7 Posted February 18, 2021 Posted February 18, 2021 The upcoming European Athletics Indoor Championship will take place in Torun, Poland March 4-7, 2021. Nikoleta Kyriakopoulou and Nikolaos Scarvelis both have decided not to take part of the competition.
Blackhawk Posted February 19, 2021 Posted February 19, 2021 Not only them. Also Karalis, Stefanidi and Belibasaki will not participate.
Antaeus7 Posted February 24, 2021 Posted February 24, 2021 (edited) 15 Greek athletes will be taking part in next weeks European Indoor Athletics Championship in Torun, Poland. Men's 60 meters - Kostas Zikos, Giannis Nyfantopoulos 1,500 meters - Andreas Dimitrakis 60 meter hurdles - Kostas Douvalidis Pole Vault - Kostas Filippidis Long Jump - Miltiadis Tentoglou, Alexandros Peristeris Women's 60 meters - Rafaela Spanoudaki, Maria Gatou, Kelly Samani 400 meters - Irini Vassiliou 1,500 meters - Konstantina Giannopoulou 60 meter hurdles - Elisabeth Peseridou Pole Vault - Eleni Polak Triple Jump - Paraskevi Papachristou 4 other athletes have a chance to qualify for the finals if they reach the limits Dimitris Tsiamis (Men's Triple Jump) Spyridoula Karydi (Women's Triple Jump) Ioanna Zakka (Women's High Jump) Nikos Andrikopoulos (Men's Triple Jump) Edited February 24, 2021 by Molon Lave
Blackhawk Posted February 24, 2021 Posted February 24, 2021 The four don't have to reach the qualifying limits. Their participation depends on rankings in the particular events after absences of qualified athletes are announced. Looking at the team I expect two medals for Greece (Tentoglou and Papachristou) 1
Antaeus7 Posted February 25, 2021 Posted February 25, 2021 The 4 athletes that I mentioned will be going to Poland along with middle distant runner Anastasia Marinakou (1,500 meters). So 20 in total. ?

Blackhawk Posted February 26, 2021 Posted February 26, 2021 Douvalidis dropped out of the European Championships due to injury.
Antaeus7 Posted February 26, 2021 Posted February 26, 2021 (edited) On 2/24/2021 at 12:59 PM, Blackhawk said: Looking at the team I expect two medals for Greece (Tentoglou and Papachristou) Both athletes are favorites to win gold medals as they are European leaders in both of their respective disciplines. Watch for Kostas Zikos to make another potential finals in the men's 60 meters. In the women's pole vault, the whole field appears to be favorable for Eleni Polak to get a medal as she is entering the competition second in Europe with her personal indoor best of 4.71, only Holly Bradshaw of Great Britain has a higher mark leading at 4.88. Edited February 26, 2021 by Molon Lave

Antaeus7 Posted March 4, 2021 Posted March 4, 2021 As expected, Tentoglou automatically qualifies to the finals with a mark of 8.04, finishing 2nd behind Montler who finished 8.18. Peristeris achieved a PB of 7.61 and finished 11th. Dimitrakis finished 11th in the heats with a time of 3:44.05 and didn't qualify for the finals.
Antaeus7 Posted March 5, 2021 Posted March 5, 2021 (edited) Tsiamis makes the cut to the finals with a jump of 16.38 (6th place) while Andrikopoulos didn't finishing 13th with 15.61. Vasiliou won her heat with a PB of 52.76 and advances into the semifinals. Giannopoulou finished 6th in the heats at 2:08.62 and Marinakou finished 7th in the heats with a SB of 4:19.60. Tentoglou is competing for the finals and should give Greece it's first medal. The only opponent who can threaten him for gold is Tobias Nilsson Montler of Sweden. Edited March 5, 2021 by Molon Lave
Blackhawk Posted March 5, 2021 Posted March 5, 2021 Vasiliou failed in the semis finishing 5th with 53.31.
Blackhawk Posted March 5, 2021 Posted March 5, 2021 Tentoglou with an early lead with a 8.35 m in first jump. Pretty much clinched a medal if not gold with this jump. Zakka failed to qualify for the final in the high jump. She jumped 1.87 m setting a personal best.
Blackhawk Posted March 5, 2021 Posted March 5, 2021 Tentoglou won the gold medal with 8.35 m defending his title. He did not have another jump that counted (3 passes, 2 fails)
