The jump that will give him the medal that is missing from his collection will be contested by Miltos Tedoglou tonight (20.30) in the long final at the World Athletics Championships. In the morning (08.00) Antigoni Drisbiotis will try to climb the World Championship podium for the first time in the 35 km walk.
Tedoglou qualified for the final with the 3rd best performance (8.25m) and after having to do all three jumps. The Olympic champion described us in his statements as “difficult competition in the preliminary round, but even more difficult in the final”. The Jamaican Pinnock (8.54 m) qualified with the best performance.
The 20-year-old Poliniki Emmanouilidou was impressive. The sprinter qualified for the 200m semi-finals with 23.00 and today, she will look to improve on her time.
On the contrary, Emmanuel Karalis (pole vault, three voids) and Elina Dzengo (javelin, 53.70, 54.27 and void, with a limit of 61.50) were far from their best performances this year and failed to get the ” tickets” for the finals, just like Stamatia Skarveli in the hammer throw.
Josh Kerr was named world champion in the 1,500m, in the 400m Karsten Warholm and Katie Moon and Nina Kennedy shared the gold in the pole vault with 4.90m.
Today our country has a quadruple representation at 35 km walk (08.00). Papamichael will compete in the men’s category and Drisbiotis, Filtisakou and Fiaska will compete in the women’s category.
