Makedonas 1,576 Posted August 13, 2021 #484 Share Posted August 13, 2021 On 8/3/2021 at 12:52 PM, Makedonas said: Theodoros Iakovidis (weightlifting) announced his retirement after finishing 11th in Tokyo. This was his second Olympics after also being in Rio. However this might not be the end of his career. He was crying in an interview about not having money/support which went viral in Greece and now he is suddenly famous with 200k+ followers on Instagram, more than double Ntouskos and Tentoglou (who both won gold medals for us this year) combined. So maybe now he will get more support and be able to continue his career? Yeah, he got a lot of attention and sponsors now so he will continue his career until 2024 now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
