Riniotis is champion in Spain with Kahazur Priego

The good news about table tennis from Greek champions, competing in foreign teams, continues. The latter concerns Tassos Riniotis, who has managed to successfully combine his presence at Olympiakos with matches in foreign interclub championships in the current season as well. The current runner-up of Greece in men’s singles, who celebrates his birthday today Easter Sunday 16/04 and tomorrow Monday 17/04 his 40th birthday, won the title in Spain with Kahazur Priego. With the completion of 19 matches in the country’s Super men’s category, his team has created a safe distance at the top and whatever happens in the remaining 3 matches they will be the 2022-2023 champions. Riniotis had an agreement for a few appearances, but by showing only victories in his individual matches, he contributed for his part to the great distinction. At the same time he tried new important experience in his international career, which is multi-year and includes stations in France, Italy, Germany, Sweden, Serbia and elsewhere.

The Spanish Superdivision Masculina has 12 teams and 22 matches. Kahazur Priego has suffered just 1 defeat in 19 matches and has collected 37 points. Compostela, which follows with 32 points, has a game more, a total of 20 and given that each victory gives 2 points, it does not catch a possible upset. Kahazour Priego is already celebrating the first and its away match, tonight 16/04, against Pontevendra (without Riniotis) has a procedural nature.

Our experienced international, a recent winner with perfect individual statistics and a European Interclub Cup with Olympiakos (Europe Trophy), participated in 4 team matches in the Spanish league and scored 5 wins in the same number of individual matches. He played his last game on March 31 and achieved a victory against San Sebastián de los Reyes. On the way to winning the title, he had teammates with the Spanish Carlos Masado, the Portuguese Diogo Carvalho, Diogo Chen and the Swedish Hambus Sonderlund.

Greek participation in the same league, we remind you that it existed for a short time in the 2nd round with Konstantinos Angelakis coming to an agreement with Murtia. The Greek men’s singles champion in 2020 had 2 wins and 5 losses. His team could not avoid relegation.

Finally, in the corresponding women’s category, Katerina Toliou competes for the second season with Reus’ jersey. At 22 matches, the championship ends here as well and Reus is in 3rd place with 26 points in 20 matches, equal with Francisco Morales. Yesterday 15/04 she competed in Alicante without the top Greek athlete and was defeated by the local club 4-3. It will finish in European positions, while the sure champion of Spain with 40 points is Cartagena. At the individual level, Toliou currently has 6 wins and 3 losses.
