    Ελλάδα – Πουέρτο Ρίκο 3-1: Ιστορική νίκη, όλα για την πρόκριση κόντρα στη Γαλλία
    H Εθνική Ομάδα βόλεϊ γυναικών πέτυχε μία τεράστια νίκη στο International Exhibition & Convention Centre της Τσιάνγκ Μέι, επικρατώντας με 3-1 σετ του Πουέρτο Ρίκο και πλέον θα διεκδικήσει την πρόκριση στις 16 καλύτερες ομάδες του κόσμου την Τρίτη (26/8, 12:00, ΕΡΤ2) απέναντι στη Γαλλία. Η Ανθούλη σε... mode ηγέτιδας
    Η Μάρθα Ανθούλη πραγματοποίησε ίσως την καλύτερη εμφάνιση της καριέρας της, σημειώνοντας 27 πόντους, 2 άσους και ποσοστό επιτυχίας 31,75% στην επίθεση. Με εκείνη μπροστάρη, η “γαλανόλευκη” κυριάρχησε απέναντι στην ομάδα που βρίσκεται στο Νο.18 της παγκόσμιας κατάταξης και πήρε μια ιστορική νίκη.
    Το ιδανικό ξεκίνημα
    Η Ελλάδα μπήκε δυνατά στο πρώτο σετ, “χτύπησε” στην υποδοχή των Πορτορικανών, βρήκε λύσεις από το φιλέ και προηγήθηκε με 8-5. Η Ανθούλη και η Στράντζαλη εκτελούσαν με εντυπωσιακά ποσοστά, οδηγώντας την Εθνική στο +7 (17-10) και τελικά στην κατάκτηση του σετ με 25-19.
        Στο δεύτερο σετ, το αντιπροσωπευτικό μας συγκρότημα ήταν ακόμα πιο επιβλητικό. Η άμυνα δούλευε υποδειγματικά, οι επιθέσεις έβγαιναν από παντού και η Ελλάδα έφτασε άνετα στο 25-13, παίρνοντας προβάδισμα 2-0.
              Αντίδραση Πουέρτο Ρίκο, απάντηση Ελλάδας
    Το τρίτο σετ ήταν το πιο αμφίρροπο. Οι Πορτορικανές βρήκαν ρυθμό, πέρασαν μπροστά (16-13), όμως η είσοδος της Λαμπρούση στο σερβίς και η βελτίωση στο μπλοκ έφεραν την Ελλάδα ξανά στο ματς. Παρά την αντεπίθεση, το Πουέρτο Ρίκο άντεξε και με 25-23 μείωσε σε 2-1.
    Στο τέταρτο σετ, όμως, η “γαλανόλευκη” ανέβασε ταχύτητα. Με πίεση στο σερβίς, άψογη άμυνα και την Μπακοδήμου να ξεχωρίζει, η Ελλάδα ξέφυγε στο 18-11 και “καθάρισε” τη νίκη με 25-14, φτάνοντας στο τελικό 3-1.
    Η επόμενη μέρα
    Η Εθνική ομάδα έδειξε χαρακτήρα, ποιότητα και βάθος στο ρόστερ της, και πλέον βλέπει ξεκάθαρα πρόκριση. Το εισιτήριο για τη φάση των “16” θα κριθεί στον “τελικό” με τη Γαλλία, την Τρίτη 26 Αυγούστου στις 12:00 (ΕΡΤ2).
    Τα σετ: 25-19, 25-13, 23-25, 25-14

    From what I remember, Paralia was a large resort: music, disco, a lot of people, etc. More for young people. I was there when I was 14 and again when I was 18, so it was okay for me. Personally, I really liked Katerini and in fact, I once think about staying in Katerini and only go to Paralia on the sea.
     
    Btw., I once read that Greece also has winter conditions for alpine skiing in winter for amateurs, but that's more for a indywidual trip. Cross-country skiing competitions are also held in Greece in winter- Fis competition (non World Cup, of course).

    The most important match of the first round of play in the group stage is coming up in half an hour.  vs.  is pretty much a direct elimination match, as the winner is almost assured in getting to the 1/8. 
     
    An interesting fact about the other team in the group  . This will be their first appearance at the women's WCH in 40 years and they have a player, who had been born when they last played, as they have a 45-year old in the roster.

    Paralia is very popular but not really because of beauty, but more for convenience reasons. It is close to Thessaloniki and of course Katerini so a lot of Greeks go there, but mainly it is populated in the summer months with people from Balkan countries as it is an easy drive and they go for cheap holidays.
     
    In my opinion Paralia is kind of a "tourist trap." Some other towns of the Olympic Riviera are nicer in my opinion, like Platamonas and Neoi Poroi.

    I was in Paralia/Khaterini 2 times in my life at the beginning of the 21st century. I remember one of the trips was to the Aquapark in Thessaloniki. I wonder if Paralia is still as touristy popularity as it once was? Overall I have a nice memories about Olympic Riviera.

    At least you have some choice
     
    We have Scheveningen (which in WW2 was used to see if someone was a German spy, because they wouldn't be able to pronounce it), which is awful. If it's cold, it is quite nice: windy and empty. If it's warm, it is a hell with a bunch of burned Dutchies and presumably the entire German population laying towel-to-towel.
     
    My small town has it's own little lake with it's own little beach, but I already hated it since I was young because the sand gets everywhere. I remember being happy when I was old enough that I didn't have to come anymore when my parents and sister went there

    Definitely not enough Greek beaches on the list, and even the two that were chosen are very questionable and not even top 50 in Greece in my opinion, let alone in the world!
     
    I've never been to Plakias Beach but it's on Crete and there are better beaches on Crete such as Balos, Elafonisi, Falasarna, Preveli, Kedrodasos, Voulisma, Stavros, Marathi, Karavostasi/Bali, Vai, Matala, etc. The fact that I've been to Crete but never been to Plakias says it all 
     
    I've been to Tsambika Beach (on Rhodes) and it is nice but in my opinion not even the best beach of Rhodes.
     
    I am surprised that some of our world-famous beaches were not chosen! Even if some may be "overrated" like Simos on Elafonissos, Navagio-Zakynthos, Porto Katsiki-Lefkada, Myrtos-Kefalonia, some Antipaxos and Halkidiki beaches, Sarakiniko-Milos...
     
    Also interesting that Ksamil in Albania is number 3, there was/is a large indigenous Greek population in that area, and it was briefly part of Greece like 100 years ago, but if it was still part of Greece I don't think it would be our number one beach.

    Overall some good results for us, we sent 7 boats and made 5 finals!
     
    The only two boats that didn't make A Finals were M2X and M4X, probably because the athletes doubled up there. 17 yo Giannoulis and 16 yo Mouselimis won their heat but then started doing M4X races (with 18 yo Kamaledakis and 17 yo Alexiou) and ended up 9th in M2X and in the B Final for M4X.
     
    Really we have other athletes that are actually U23s so I don't know why we mostly used our U19 team here. Athletes born 2003 and later are eligible and we have no one from 2003 or 2004, one from 2005, two from 2006, and the rest are U19s...
     
    In the A Finals we have:
    18 yo Cholopoulos in M1X
    18 yo Diavati in W1X
    18 yo Bourkas and 18 yo Chatziavgoustidis in M2-
    19 yo Kontou and 18 yo Lykomitrou in W2X
    19 yo Lioliou and 16 yo Mouratidou in LW2X
     
    It would be shocking if we don't take gold in W2X and LW2X, and I'd like at least one more medal from the other finals, so I'll say 3 medals will be good for us here.
     
    Really we shouldn't have had Giannoulis/Mouselimis double up and maybe they could've won a medal in M2X, and if we used some of our actual U23 rowers and sent crews for M4-, W4-, W4X then we could've had more chances for medals but clearly that's not a priority for our federation

    Of course, they easily won gold at the European U19 Championships a couple months ago but this is very impressive!

    Dragomirova 6.42 long jump (her PB is 6.44 from 2019) and 47.61 javelin. She has 5455 points after six events.
     
    Unfortunately the 800 is her weakest event by far but she should still get enough points for a new U23NR.  Last week, she had 5371 points at this stage and then got only 683 from the 800m for a U23NR of 6054.
     
    Also our federation is saying 10.000 people attended yesterday
