George Kougioumtsidis has proved in the best way that he is the “Next Big Thing” and his excellent performances are rewarded by the ranking of the World Wrestling Federation, which brings him to seventh place at 79 kg.
The new distinction of Kougioumtsidis proves, once again, that he is a very remarkable athlete and has many chances to win a medal at the Olympic Games in Paris in 2024.
2021 was a year full of distinctions for the Greek champion, as he had won the silver medal at the European Junior Championships, the bronze at the European U23 Championship, while he had come seventh at the Men’s World Championship.
At the same time, Kougioumtsidis made impressive appearances in the pre-Olympic tournaments, winning the bronze medal in Budapest and “touched” the qualification for the Tokyo Olympics.
“It is a special honor and joy to be in seventh place in the world ranking of my category. This fact gives me more appetite and willingness to work. It is a great psychological stimulus for me for the many obligations that follow “, Kougioumtsidis initially stressed and wished for the new year:
“It is the beginning of the racing year and the ‘thirst’ is great. I look forward to the big events to come. I would like to wish all Greek athletes good health and make their dreams come true “.
