FIRST EVER GOLD MEDAL FOR GREECE IN ROWING AND FIRST EVER MEDAL IN A NON-LIGHTWEIGHT EVENT! :GRE

 

So proud of Stefanos and he's only 24 and was only competing in the single sculls for two years. He was thinking of retiring after Tokyo, surely this result will change his life and attract sponsors to allow him to continue the sport. I am so proud of him!

 

I knew he could win a medal here and believed for months that he could, but wow, gold! Amazing!

Every Polish expert & commentator says gold medal for :GRE is a major surprise :p

He definitely benefited a lot from the postponement of the Games. However this year he was very good, finished 4th at the European Championships where he was in a medal position for the first 1990m and lost it right at the end, plus two of the three medalists from there didn't make it to the A Final here

Also we've had other rowers in recent years when their semifinals but flop in the final. Asoumanaki/Nikolaidou in W2X in 2016 won their semifinal and got 4th in the final, Bourmpou/Kyridou here in W2- won their semifinal and got 5th in the final. So good to see someone win their semifinal and still win a medal (and gold!)

    • There will be specialized double sculls...just not for an NOC if it is entering singles specialists.   Either enter 2 singles specialists, or 1 XD specialist pair.   But they can in theory compete in both events, I guess, if they qualify...our top M, I think, does both.   But there are 17M, 17W, and 30 Pairs allotted in the quota, so I don't think the intent is that every singles entry will be in doubles.   (Perhaps this gets to fall in line with Weightlifting, where due to max entry quota, an NOC can't enter in every event, even if they have the best athletes...here, unless you have a pair who qualifies in both.)

    • I read the Olympic qualification documents for weightlifting. A country can have the opportunity to send a maximum of 4 athletes in one gender, but the conditions are very strict.
    • world champion Jessica Schilder opened her season up with 19.78 in France.
    • wait! what???   so, there won't be specialized double sculls, but those boats would have to feature 2 single specialists if a Nation wants to enter 2 proper singles M+W??? tell me I misread the expalaination...
    • Yeah, they do get broadcast pretty regularly.  I remember even back in Bode Miller's day they would show the training.
