bestmen 2,536 Posted July 27, 2019 #5 Share Posted July 27, 2019 the Mascot Spoiler Kanella Stasinopoulou is an artist and a teacher. Her inspiration led her to the creation of Patreas, the mascot of the Second Mediterranean Beach Games Patras 2019. She was informed about the competition by the Organizing Committee and decided to take part because the Games are held in the city where she was born. One of the main terms of the contest was for participants to create an animal that lives and moves both on land and sea. She came up with the idea spontaneously and ended up with the seagull because it is the coastal bird that a visitor of Patras will encounter when moving along the coastal zone of the city, in parts of which (South Park, Plaz Agias) the Games will be hosted. She had never taken part in a contest before. She was urged to participate because sketching a mascot for the Games that will be held in her city was a challenge for her. However, she was impressed by the great publicity and fame Patreas received from the media and feels extremely happy whenever she sees him "traveling", inviting athletes and visitors to Patras. Her desire is to be photographed with the mascot during the period of the Mediterranean Beach Games Patras 2019 that will take place from the 25th to the 31st of August. Her artistic interests lie on painting and pottery, something which she does for personal pleasure. At a professional level, she teaches art at the Arsakeia Schools of Patras. She has studied painting and is also a member of the Visual Workshop of the Municipality of Patras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jur 479 Posted August 16, 2019 #7 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Do other countrys take this event seriously? Spain doesn't. We are only sending 27 ayhletes, most of them with low level/C team. No team sports, where Spain is actually really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they’re marketed as a fun sporting festival where athletes who normally wouldn’t get the chance can represent their countries, in some exciting events. I quite like the model actually. Beach Games also serve as a nice holdover until the “real” games. I quite enjoyed the African Beach Games. Hopefully the streaming is good so I can enjoy these too. I actually PanAmSports should adopt this model too @intoronto @vinipereira @mrv86. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

It could benefit some disciplines to avoid cramming the Pan American Games with two many events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
