Smiles and optimism dominated members of the Greek track and field mission, which departed on Wednesday for China and the Nanzing World Championship, 21-23 of the month. Miltos Tentoglou and Emmanuel Karalis pulled the flash of publicity and took selfies.
The world champion remains optimistic and ready for the best possible. “It will be a little harder for me, because I didn’t have a good season. Sometimes you can’t understand how much you get better in something and this improvement will spoil your jump. I improved in some parameters, understood it and found it. The misfortune was that I got sick and lost training. I fell a little bit of power and speed, but my allies are on a very good level.
I also lost the European Championship. I like to be in the races, but I have three golds, so if it is to lose a race it is better to lose the European and not the global closed. The level of the world is not at a very high level, there are some athletes who expect to go well, but I do not expect crazy performance.
If I conquer the gold I will reach the three medals, behind the five. It is incredible what the Cuban has achieved, but what I want is to win three gold in all the big events. ”
The European champion was also ready for new successes a few days ago in Apostle. “I hope we finish the season well. It was a great season with very good performance. We have worked well with my coaches. I want to jump high and close the period with a record. My jumps after 6 meters are very good and I want to believe that in China I will be able to get even higher. In the European I was a little stressed out. I want to go to this race and thank him, because when I enjoy it, high jumps are coming out effortlessly.
Dupladis is the favorite, but I will look at myself. I will look to do all the heights with the first and to make a record, you never know in the races. Everyone hopes the best for himself. ”
Dimitra Tsoukala said about her debut in the event: “I am happy for this participation. It was something we expected because I was close to qualifying. It’s a reward because I was a little unlucky in the European as I got sick. I’m going to thank my race and do my best. ”
Polynesian Emmanouilidou, after her excellent presence in the Yorkikos, raised her expectations in China. “I hope it goes below from the Netherlands 7.18, I think I can do it. Second World Championships and I feel very experienced. I am ready and I wish the record would come. I feel lucky to be so effectively responding to big events. ”
Debut in the event will also be prevented by Sofia Iosifidou. “I am very happy and grateful to be there. I feel I can give more. I don’t know how I will cope with all that I will face there, as everything is new to me. After these appearances I look forward to finishing the winter season and starting with a very appetite for the preparation for the open. I also want to claim good times. ”
Together with the team, the federal coach, George Pomaski, the technical director, Christos Meletioglou, and the physiotherapist, Elizabeth Anastasaki, traveled.
The team traveled to Turkey and, from there, will go to Shanghai with a final destination for Nanzing.
