Greek Boxing is a new global force

A gold medal and two bronzes elevate Greece to the Top Podium at the Pan-European Championships in Armenia. The Golden Kouzilos and the Bronzes Triphylli and Zanounllari made the Greeks cry with pride.

At the Pan European Youth Championship held in Yerevan, Armenia, our National Team completed its presence in the best way by winning a Gold Medal and 2 Bronzes showing once again that the “blue and white gloves” leave their mark wherever they go pass.

Both our Male and Female Athletes gave their best in the ring, they fought with stubbornness, passion and particular dynamism representing our National colors.

Panagiota Kouzilou in the final of her category (57 kg) faced the Danish Nadia Munkholm with incredible technique, faith and concentration, deservingly winning the Gold Medal for Greece.

In the semi-final (48 kg), Anna Maria Triphylli faced the Russian Lia Patlai in a match that was literally decided in the details, thus losing by majority decision, the “ticket” for the final of her category.

In the semi-final match (60 kg) that Danae Zenunllari fought against the Russian Elizaveta Tokareva, although she fought hard, she did not make it to the final and thus won the second Bronze Medal for the “blue and white gloves”.

Once again, full of pride and emotion, the President of the Hellenic Boxing Federation, Mr. Haris Mariolis, commented on the new very great success of our National Team, saying the following:

I am very proud, excited for all the children of our National Team. We have won another Gold Medal and 2 Bronzes in the Pan-European Championship and we are showing at the World level that Greek Boxing is rightfully the new rising force all over the world. Congratulations to the entire Greek delegation, to our dynamic female champions and to our excellent champions, to our federal coaches who, with intensive work, prove to us every time that both our male and female athletes deserve every success, honor our country and represent for all us the Family of the Hellenic Boxing Federation”.
