As every time in recent years, the first gathering of the year for the pre-National table tennis teams for the 2024-2025 season took place in the SEF federal hall, with wishes for a good season, with health and success accompanying the training.
15 sportsmen and women from the men’s and women’s groups were “present” and, beyond that, there were those who were excused. At the level of federal coaches, only women’s coach Giorgos Karytsas will be at SEF in the first days, as his men’s counterpart, Kostas Vatsaklis, is still on leave due to the Paris Olympics and returns to his duties at the end of the week .
After the necessary breaths, our internationals got to work with a lot of enthusiasm and full “batteries”, but with the intense heat as an inhibiting factor for another summer.
On Tuesday they hold the first double training (morning and afternoon). Next to them for a fitness program is the phallic stage and the partner of E.F.O.E.P.A., ergophysiologist Christos Balabinis.
As soon as the new season begins, participation in international tournaments begins. Yiannis Sgouropoulos and Malamatenia Papadimitriou were at the first meeting and on Tuesday they are going to the Czech Republic for the WTT Feeder of Olomouc.
The Swedish Hambus Sonderlund and Diego Orantes were also at SEF on Monday, who visited Athens at the same time this year and will prepare with the Greek champions until August 25.
