“I am very happy. This medal came at the best time, at the beginning of the Olympic year, with a lot of effort and a lot of trouble. I see that the work we did had an effect and it gives me faith for the continuation. The big goal for this year is the Olympics and that’s why it’s a very important year for me, I’ve adjusted everything to that end. A medal at the Olympic Games is very difficult, but the goal is to break the Panhellenic record again. All seasons have a lot of training, but the Olympic year has even more. And what you don’t know you have, you discover in an Olympic year and everyone is a little more“, emphasized the Greek champion.
At the same time, he mentioned the tough preparation program that follows:We usually have nine workouts in the water and three in the gym in a week. We are talking about two hours in the morning and another two to two and a half hours in the afternoon. And the rest of the day you have to rest, eat well and you basically adjust your whole schedule to that. I try to maintain a balance with my personal life. I’ve always loved going out and having fun. Now it’s an Olympic year, and since I don’t know how much longer I’ll have the pleasure of doing it, I’m committed to it. That is why I have asked all my people to be understanding».
