Makedonas

He said 4 years are a long time (he is 44 years old already), he will take it year by year and to ask him again in 2026 and then he will answer about 2028

And when she was "pinned down" (sorry I don't know the proper judo term) at the end for 10-15 seconds, you could hear the desperation and heartbreak in her family members' voices screaming "Pame Liza! Pame Liiizzaaaa!" because they probably knew it was basically over and they were doing anything they could to try and inspire her to pull off a miracle

We definitely expected a medal in judo yesterday but from Teltsidou, not Tselidis! I'll take it though! What a nice surprise for once. I know he won a couple of European Championships medals in the past but this is probably the first surprise Greek Olympic medal since 2004 (unless you consider Korakaki in 2016 a surprise)! Usually our Olympic surprises are painful losses, they are very rarely unexpected medal! Also our first judo medal since London 2012

No one cares about this tournament? Or people will start caring once the group stage is over? We beat today and qualified already for the quarterfinals with 2 games left in the group stage. Hopefully we can keep winning so we can get a better draw for the QF.

Είχε 3 set points στο 2ο σετ αλλά δεν πειράζει, το μετάλλιο χάθηκε από τη στιγμή που έγινε η κλήρωση δυστυχώς... Η μεγάλη του ευκαιρία ήταν στο μεικτό διπλό αλλά...

Solid morning for us with all 3 swimmers advancing to the semifinals. Hoping for at least one of our guys in the 200 backstroke to make the final.

3 finals for us, the most ever Hopefully, Ntouskos can add a 4th tomorrow but it's going to be very difficult. Who would've thought that possibly the only one to miss out would be the reigning Olympic champion?! I'm hoping for a medal but it will be tough, maybe one of our crews can sneak a bronze. The two lightweight doubles will be in Lane 2 so maybe it's possible.

Gionis' run ends I hope to see him try again for 2028, it will be his 7th Olympics which will be the most of any Greek in any sport.

After yesterday's disappointment with Sakkari who totally choked, Tsitsipas gives Greek tennis fans something to cheer about as he advances to the quarterfinals! Unfortunately, his next opponent will likely be Djokovic...

I can't believe it And she had like 15-20 family members come, her immediate family and all of her cousins, aunts, uncles... Based on her family, their jobs, and where they are from/live she probably grew up poor so I'm sure this was a big deal for the whole family to go to Paris just to be disappointed...

A win is a win, but not convincing for us to win on penalties over Montenegro...

Imagine saying this after winning 11 medals after Day 4

All 4 of our boats into the semifinals, hopefully some of them can make the finals

That makes us look even worse

Personally I can't think of any good memories from Olympic fencing, especially women's sabre! In London we had Vougiouka in QF with a big lead and then got injured and couldn't breathe and ended up losing to the eventual gold medalist. Then we had Georgiadou not qualifying for Paris despite being number 3 in the world, in a year where FIE changed the qualification rules for some but not others, and also gave everyone and their mother a wildcard but not Georgiadou. Then we have Gkountoura make the quarterfinals and this happens. The only thing that will make this all okay is if we qualify for the team event for 2028 and win a medal, otherwise fencing to me will mean nothing...

I don't think @Tedwas accusing Manon of actually cheating, hence the quotations. The thing is there were questionable calls which went against Dora, especially at the end. Dora was crying on Greek TV after and said "I don't like to use the refereeing as an excuse, I think that's the weak excuse, but I think some hits were wrong and it should have at least gone to 14-14." Her coach was not as kind, he said "This wasn't injustice, this was a scandal! It was at least 6 points, the match should've ended 15-9 in our favour. What happened today was she played against a French woman, we beat the previous one, now we played with another one, she had to win. It was very clear today's match. It's a massive injustice. It's a pity that some people are playing with the work and the blood and sweat of these children. It's a sin."

Thank you, my friend! It is very painful, we have improved so much in swimming and I really thought this time we could finally win a medal in the pool. Of course we still have a few other chances like Gkolomeev and Siskos but I really thought Christou had the best chance, it hurts so much that he missed it by just .02. I would've rather he finished 7th or something. To be so close to a historic moment and not make it... It's hard to be positive in these moments, we lost 3 big medal chances within the span of a few hours (Christou, Gkountoura, Sakkari/Tsitsipas mixed doubles) However I hope Gianniotis can be an inspiration to all Greek Olympians, especially Christou as he is also a swimmer. He was 5th in Athens, then 4th in London (as the favourite) and everyone thought he missed his chance, then he came back to Rio at 36 yo and finally got his Olympic medal!

Any chance he will get caught doping and the bronze medal will be awarded to ?

Η χθεσινή μέρα των ΟΑ

The mixed doubles draw is really falling apart! Following the withdrawal of , I thought the clear favourites were followed by and Now all of these teams are out Wasted chance for us , but at least both of them are still alive in singles

It's always funny to see @hckošiceso negative about Slovakia's chances at every sport before every major competition and then they usually end up doing quite well in the end

Gkountoura with a solid 15-3 win to start

People say the same about our Prime Minister, that anytime he watches anyone or wishes them luck that it's a curse and his whole family is cursed. He even went as far as posting on Instagram when both Greek teams qualified for the Euroleague Final Four to show that he didn't jinx it when he wished them luck prior to the quarterfinals, because it's like the national joke Today he watched Tsitsipas and Sakkari though and everyone said they'd lose because of him but they both won

Very happy for Christou making the 100 backstroke final after being so close in Tokyo and missing out He has a huge chance to make history in the final with a medal but it will be very difficult... Also very sad for Makrygiannis coming in 9th, missing the final by 0.02 seconds . So close to having two Greek finalists! However he is young and if he can keep improving then we may see him in the final in 2028
