The testimony he made after his exclusion from the Tokyo Olympics shocked Greece. Thodoris Iakovidis was honored by the PSAT in the context of this year’s awards for his attitude and once again moved, talking about the effort of his teammates.
«I’m a little upset, I’m not used to speaking in front of so many people. I thank PSAT for the honor it gives me to be awarded. This award is the greatest honor for me. For many it is a small, lifeless, metal object, but for me it hides all the meanings of the world“, He initially stated and added:
«I want to dedicate it to my teammates in the National team, because you may have learned about Iakovidis but I have several teammates since 2010 that I am in the National team that we fought under the same conditions, we cursed, we sweated, we lost, we won, but above all we dreamed and gave 100% of ourselves. I dedicate it to all these guys, who I would like to be here with us, but it is not our coaches, Valerios Leonidis and Leonidas Sampanis who made this team that no longer exists, but I will always carry them in my soul . I thank God that I met them and had them as fellow athletes and companions».
