Greece participates in the A’ division of the European Athletics Team Championship of Silesia, 23-35 of the month, and against the 16 best teams of the “old continent”, aiming to stay in the big division, which Katerina Stefanidis considers possible .
“It’s true that in athletics we don’t have many opportunities to compete as a team, so this race is the ideal opportunity to experience a big event in a different way,” said the holder of the Panhellenic pole vault record and added:
“I believe that we are a group with dynamics, ability and talent that can achieve its goal and remain in the A’ division. The team has sportsmen and women who stand out in international competitions and who can offer valuable points.
It is, however, very important that young children participating in this event for the first time enjoy their participation and gain an important experience.
The competitions have many peculiarities, such as the regulations for the four attempts in the vertical jumps or the way of conducting the horizontal and the throws”, concluded the “golden” Olympic medalist of Rio, who is one of the strong Greek presences in the event.
The 33-year-old star will travel to Poland on Thursday.
