Also great for us to be in first place in the world

Who was number 87?

Our results are definitely not better, we always do so well in U19 and U23 and then at that point most of our rowers quit to find a career where they can actually make money. Romania and Italy at least have big teams for the Olympics. We've never had more than 4 boats. For example, just look at our U19 women's team from 2022. We won gold in W1X, W2- and W2X. W1X Gkogkou is now in her second year at Yale University. She didn't compete for the national team last summer in U23 even. W2- Asvesta is at University of Texas and still rows I guess but didn't compete with our national team last summer. Argyraki has not competed since 2022, not even in club rowing, so she probably is focusing on her studies. W2X Natsioula quit rowing at age 17 to study medicine and Dalidou is at Harvard University, but again, she did not compete with the national team in U23 last year either. Only two years later and already none of these 5 girls are with the Greek national team, hopefully at least one or two will come back at some point after their studies but I've thought that in the past about some of the girls who go to the US and we never see them again...

Let's not forget Gkountoura was probably robbed of a medal in Paris too, but I still have hope that we can qualify in the team event in 2028 or at least have one of them qualify and deliver our first Olympic fencing medal since 1896. Would be great for the sport too, no? Oh that's right, having new countries win and "make history" and "diversity" is only convenient some times, depending on who it benefits, but if a country like Greece can benefit then it's not important

Georgiadou and Gkountoura both into the semifinals in Orleans Unfortunately they will face each other now so there is no chance for an all-Greek final Good to see Georgiadou going strong after all she's been through. Really would be incredible if she can qualify for LA 2028, finally making her first Olympics at age 37, and shutting everyone up with the medal she deserves!

Also if I didn't notice the scoring error in the Greek jury vote, Sweden would have won instead of Czechia

Of course the last two results didn't go our way and we ended 5th Still thank you to all who voted for us, still our equal best result ever!

Well that was nice while it lasted

I manifested it! Top 5 guaranteed, so in the worst case scenario, we will equal our best ever TISC result, let's see if we can hold on and finish 3rd or 4th even!

Now we are down to 7th and keep falling Really hope we get something from Moldova here

It's actually our national basketball team's anthem since Eurobasket 1987 @Belle

That's fine, top 3 would still be our best finish ever so I'd like to hold it, but the gap between 3 and 10 is very narrow so it will be difficult...

This cover is hilarious, especially her Greek pronunciation at times

We had never been top 10 in our first 18 TISC participations, then for TISC Open 2022 we achieved our best ever result which was 5th place. Then for TISC Open 2023 we had another solid finishing, in 6th place. Now we are currently in 3rd place here We definitely need to figure out a better formula for TISC Annual, where we have still never been in the top 10 (best result was 12th).

I agree, she has better songs in my opinion!
