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.

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)

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.

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.

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.

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.
