We did pretty well here, but my personal favourite are koulourakia, and probably they are the most popular Greek cookie as well, but they did not make the list but obscure ones like moustokouloura and amygdalota did?

@Makedonas I can confirm that it did not take me long to go through a tin of kourabiedes :d

Even Greeks sometimes struggle to eat them without making a mess, and getting powdered sugar all over their clothes and the table/floor etc, so I must say I'm very impressed :thumbup:

I would happily buy the entire national supply of Turkish Delight/Loukoumi as well (especially the rose flavor) @Makedonas

I never said anything about not making a mess :p

 

It probably took me a few weeks to clean up all the powered sugar from the kourabiedes and Turkish Delight :p

    • North American rugby quotas ( and qualified automatically)    M: and W: and  
    • I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.
    • Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't. 
    • Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.
