THE Nicole Eleftheriadou had a huge contribution to its great success winning the bronze medal from Women’s National Polo in the European Championship and qualifying for the Olympic Games. A goal of her own decided the minor final against Italy and sent the Greek team to… Paris.
Her partner, Sasha Vezenkov, from the US where he is due to obligations with the Kings, watched her efforts. “I am so proud of you“, he wrote on Instagram accompanying his post with two hearts and a photo of his beloved.
His athlete Olympiakou, who had visited the former Olympiakos ace in Sacramento the previous month, responded accordingly. “The man who supports me from the other side of the world“, she said in turn on social media, adding a heart too.
Shortly after the great success, she herself was in tears on camera. “I’m trying to find the words to express what I feel, I’m shaking! I cannot describe what this means to us. I won’t talk about labors and anything else. This team played with so much soul today, they really didn’t deserve anything other than qualifying. I have no words, I’m just trying to realize what has happened. It is a dream to qualify for the Olympics and I am grateful to experience it with these girls, with this coaching honor. It’s the work of years and I really have no words“, he said.
