dullard 469 Posted July 10, 2023 #542 Share Posted July 10, 2023 They're a female running in the women's category and not a medal contender so there shouldn't be much controversy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makedonas 1,673 Posted July 10, 2023 #543 Share Posted July 10, 2023 The highlight of Day 2 of the Greek Nationals was Tentoglou's 8.38 EL, which gave him the Olympic qualification. Still, he seemed disappointed because he wanted a bigger jump. There was a decent crowd to watch him though: Also in the men's long jump, 20 yo Stamatonikolos won silver with a PB of 7.86, and 19 yo Chitas was 4th with a PB of 7.50. The other big star of the day was Stefanidi, who won gold with a SB of 4.61. Polak (4.46) and Kyriakopoulou (4.35) were the other medalists, each with SBs as well. They both got important points for Budapest and will hope to repeat that at the Balkan Championships. Kyriazis won the men's javelin with 79.61, and Scarvelis won the women's hammer with 68.83. Both got important ranking points as they try to make it to Budapest. Same with Gnafaki who won the women's 400 hurdles with 56.69. The men's high jump saw Merlos and 18 yo Mita each with 2.19. For Mita, it was a new PB. In the women's long jump, the top 6 all finished above 6m (which is very good for our standards), and the winner was Koreneva with 6.43. Unfortunately, she is still waiting for Greek citizenship despite living here for many years and being married to a Greek.

She jumped 6.93 twice! Looks to be in good form. If it is a femur injury that likely means she's out of the World Championships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could have just been a hardening. maestro, FireRun and Josh 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
