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!)

    • Vittozzi- Wierer in 2019 or even some later. They are still not close friends and do not train together: Vittozzi has been training alone since last season, Wierer with the men's team for 4-5 years and the rest of the Italian team still separately - Vittozzi trained with this second group until she suffered an injury in the autumn of 2024.
    • So far, the Russians haven't even reached the Dnieper River, so don't worry. Poland has the same problem as Ukraine, in that there are no major geographical obstacles to the east: mountains, lakes, rivers, etc. The terrain is quite flat, but to reach Warsaw in a few days, the country would have to fall apart, the army would collapse and the authorities would have to escape from the country. 
    • Probably 0% but in 1939 Germans reached the outskirts of Warsaw after only eight days (the border was more to the east than it is now i.e. they had less ground to cover). The ugly truth is NATO would most likely bide their time in response so the entire eastern Poland would be a battle field for a while.
    • What was the Italian conflict? I can't quite remember.
    • And is there any chance that the Polish president would have escape within the first 2-3 days of war? Probably 0%. In 1939, the authorities escaped, but after an attack from 2 sides, the first being the German attack.
    • Hmm, and were they wanted to capture Kyiv in three days? Since middle of 2022, their run has been slow, so I don't think they'll be using any rapid maneuvers on the future. They surprised Ukraine at the very beginning on the war and were close to success. Zelenskyy only needed to flee the country in the first 2 or 3 days of the war. And Russia could have counted on this happening, because Zelenskyy wasn't an experienced politician or soldier and could have do however they wanted. In my opinion, Zelensky's role in Putin's plan ruined everything for them- he, as a populist and inexperienced man, was to escape from Kiev in the first few days of the war. Then Russia would have put in one of its own- Yanukovych? and Europe and the USA would probably have approved that.
    • Fortifications could only work for illegal immigrants but not against drones. We're wasting missiles worth millions of euro to shoot down drones worth 10k. It's anyone's guess how quickly Russians would reach Vistula River if the invasion came from two sides (Kaliningrad & Belarus). It would be days and not weeks...
    • Shocking news 😔 We just saw him competing 2 days ago in Annecy. 
    • Yes, and Ukraine is very important to Putin- far more important than the Baltic states, Georgia or even Poland. Without Ukraine, the restoration of the former USSR will be impossible for Putin. Another thing is that with pro-Russian Ukraine, Poland will have its entire eastern and northern border (Kaliningrad) with unfriendly countries except Lithuania, so it will basically have to militaries the all entire eastern part of Poland and build various fortifications there.
