The athletics delegation for the European Championships in Rome

SEGAS announced on Thursday the Greek team for the European Championship in Rome, June 7-12. It consists of the top sportsmen and women with distinctions and medals in the major outdoor and indoor events in the past and some of the youngest champions in the largest ever delegation of the institution.

Finally, Nikos Stamatonikolos was left out of the mission in the long run, even though he was within the qualification ranking, as he is dealing with an injury problem. Gloria Privilegio joined the ranking at the last moment in the half marathon, but chose not to participate, as did high jumper Andreas Mita, who is in the USA and will compete in the NCAA final.

The process of declarations by the national federations has been closed, however it is possible that invitations will come in the next few hours after some participation cancellations.

The bulk of the group will depart for Rome on the morning of Wednesday 5/6 at 07:30.

The names that stand out are Katerina Stefanidis, Miltos Tentoglou, Emmanuel Karalis, Elina Tzengo, Elisavet Pesiridou, Antigoni Drisbiotis, Tatiana Gusin, Polyniki Emmanuilidou, Costas Douvalidis, Dimitris Tsiamis, Nikos Andrikopoulos, Alexandros Papamichail and Yiannis Kyriazis.
