Thank you! His main event is the 100 backstroke, and I think he knew the only way he could win a medal here was to go all out and treat it like a 100 backstroke and that's why he started to run out of gas at the end but the strategy definitely worked! So happy for him especially after his heartbreaking 4th place in the 100 the other day. He really deserved this!

 

And he takes the NR back from Siskos who was eliminated in the semifinals unfortunately.

btw this is the first medal of :GRE in swimming since 1896 (first modern Olympics in Athens)

Well technically Gianniotis won silver in 2016 but that was in open water, but this is the first Greek swimming medal ever in a pool, as the 1896 swimming events took place in the sea :d

 

Kind of crazy we had won water polo (not that surprising because we're good) and diving (!!!) medals in a pool before a swimming medal :lol:

 

Honestly Greek swimming really deserved this. We have quietly improved a lot in recent years, and we now have a lot of good swimmers. We joked about becoming a new swimming powerhouse at the European Championships because so many big names were missing, but honestly many of our swimmers' times there were really strong and they would've won medals in "normal" years anyways. We are still far from a powerhouse obviously but it's a step in the right direction! I hope we continue to improve!

 

Also Gkolomeev into another Olympic final for us :yes
