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!)

    • I am going to use this as evidence for my belief that the only way for baseball to continue growing is to increase the importance of International tournaments.   Because shocassing stars in those environments is how the MLB can grow their viewership abroad.
    • If this were Milan from 20 years ago, it would be a success but currently it`s just a European average team and on top of that it is not in top form. Milan's defense this season resembles Swiss cheese.
    • Bologna is unfortunately is a team for the Conference League, not the Champions League   Juventus are plagued by injuries and are struggling. On top of that they have a terrible schedule in the CL. In their case qualifying for the play-offs would be a success in this season but I'm not sure how many points they will need to do that. Actually they chave 8 points.
    • Four events with medals awarded halfway into the first day, and already six NOCs are on the medal table 
    • First day of sporting action today. There's livestreams available on the official website: https://www.bolivarianos2024.pe/envivo/   PanamSports Channel should be broadcasting events as well.
