The statements of Emmanuel Karalis in detail:
For the game: “It was one of the hardest matches I’ve played this year. It was very windy, and it was raining. On the first jump the wind… took the pole and I couldn’t get it in the valve so I went back. I twisted my leg a bit, but we have until Wednesday to come back. Whenever I compete with the National Team, I don’t feel pain, I don’t feel stress. I hope on Wednesday we will have better conditions and you will see beautiful things”.
On the position he would like to occupy in Wednesday’s final: “We are all fine. I want to chase an individual record, a Panhellenic record, I will give my best and I hope everything goes well. Oh, and a message. Mom, throw a tantrum!’
