After winning the silver medal with the National Team of Greece in Tokyo, it was the right time for Mario Kapotsis to retire from the “blue and white”, as the Vouliagmeni regional president and president of SEAY told bwinΣΠΟΡ FM 94,6 and the Christos Sotirakopoulos.
«Better to be asked why he is leaving than why you insist on playing. I completely identify with Platini. I think it was the best decision to stop after a huge success with the National team, with which we count the rounds per Olympics“, He initially stated.
«I have been in the pools for many years and I am thinking at 35 to stop, to be at a high level. I want to be in competing teams, playing Greece and Europe, and claiming titles“, He added.
He was then asked about the sport of polo and his thoughts as the new president of the Hellenic Water Polo Athletes Association: “There are countries that have the sport high, but here in Greece the conditions are not professional. When a pole vaulter stops it does not have a single stamp. It is not possible to have fought, to bring distinctions in the country and not to have a single badge. Especially in a sport that has brought and will continue to bring success».
For his first moves as president of SEAY: “We talked to Mr. Avgenakis and he was committed. I think he will include it in the fan violence bill. Mr. Avgenakis has given a lot of help in terms of amateur sports. Sure, someone is wronged, but it has helped a lot in amateur sports. I also had a meeting with Mr. Kyriakos Giannopoulos, the president of the Federation, and for the first time we will have a common line, helping each other and being able to reach higher in the sport».
