Rowing at the Summer Olympic Games 2020

[Makedonas 2,239]

Greece's Kyridou sisters already got their Olympic rings tattoos...

 

Really they should've waited until after the Olympics, especially this year when there is a chance that the Olympics may not be held...

 Team Greece 

 

Men's Single Sculls

Stefanos Ntouskos

 

Women's Single Sculls

Anneta Kyridou

 

Women's Pair

Christina Bourmpou

Maria Kyridou

 

 

 

Our smallest rowing team since 2004 (after Athens 2004 we really grew the sport in Greece for a number of years). We had 10 rowers in London and 10 in Rio, with Ntouskos being the only one returning. However, there are some positive signs. Ntouskos is our oldest rower at 24. A.Kyridou is 22 and Bourmpou and M.Kyridou are both just 20 years old (they qualified via the 2019 World Championships as 18 year olds). We have such a young team and Tokyo might not be their time, but I think if we can keep them for Paris 2024 then that can be their time to shine.

 

Of course that is a big IF, as we had three teenage rowers in Rio and Ntouskos is the only one still competing 

 

Anyways I think Ntouskos can possibly win a medal but I don't want to get too excited. I think he's probably expected to finish about 4th-5th while both women's boats are probably expected to finish 6th-9th or so.

Here is the team, they are leaving tomorrow for Tokyo which is very early.

Will Lithuania be able to compete despite having no time to prepare?

as bad as they can be, they will end up last like Italy's men's Eight in 2016 (always a late replacement for Russia)...
