The wrestling champion, who was forced to leave this year’s Survivor for health reasons, revealed that his family had to make great sacrifices in order to be able to participate in competitions.
“I started with difficulty. We did not have money to go to the games, my mother and I had to sell all our jewelry so that I could go down to the games “, were the words of the Greek wrestler
Of course he also referred to Survivor“Survivor was not for me. My life is sports. Normally I eat 5,000 calories a day and there I did not eat even 200. What was difficult for me was living together in a group with very different characters. After 15 days my body started to get shocked, I got up and was dizzy. “I was having a hard time.”
He told Survivor that he came in “so that people would recognize me. “I wanted him to recognize me as a world athlete but in the end he recognized me as a survivor.”
His mother was always by his side, as he stated and supported him as much as anyone in any way in order to participate in wrestling matches despite their difficult financial situation. But he reciprocated when he received his first medal: “When I received my first sponsorship I told my mother to quit her job. “This is the biggest medal I could get my mother to stop from the supermarket she was working in,” he said.
