Tedoglou: “Nothing can ease the pain of these people”

THE Miltos Tendoglou gave the Greeks a reason to smile with it gold medal he won in the European Indoor Athleticsbut realizes that it is not enough to comfort the people who lost their own in the Tempe disaster.

“It’s tragic what happened. I’m too shy to speak. There is nothing we can do to ease the sorrow of these people“, he emphasized.

“I want to thank the Greeks who were here and made a fantastic stand. Not just for me, but for all athletes. It is very important to me and I am glad that I achieved it. I wasn’t as good as I wanted to be, but I tried my best. I had a big jump void. I’m happy though. I usually jump more after the first jump, but it didn’t work out for me today. Waking up in the morning is difficult for me, if the race was held at night I’m sure I would have done 8.50m. I used to sleep at odd hours to make the morning wake up as best as I could“, he added.

As for whether he feels invincible but also the goals in the future? “I’m not invincible, I lose sometimes too. Today I could lose, because I wasn’t my best self. Maybe an outsider will sometimes make a surprise. For the future I will try my best. A Panhellenic record and gold in Budapest at the World Championships are my goals“, he said.
