The Men’s National Painting Team qualified on Tuesday in Europe’s 16 best teams after winning England 3-1 with a great appearance for the European Championship and in a triple tie in the fourth group took the privileged second place behind Portugal.
Greece only wanted a 3-0 or 3-1 victory to implement its very difficult target in Zadar at the expense of England. He did it, though he was back in the score, and that is what makes success even greater. After 0-1 he had to get to the perfect and he did it with a staircase, with high racing quality and mental vigor with protagonists and leader Panagiotis Gionis and Giorgos Stamatouros.
The former scored two more wins in Croatia and at the age of 46 is presented like the old wine … The second in his premiere in the Croatian city fought with his performance and determination.
And Sgouropoulos could very well come to the beginning, he was very strong in the first part of the match and ahead of a 2-0 set, but the changes to the racing image are something that is happening.
The whole of Kostas Vatsaklis, complemented by the alternate on Tuesday Constantine Constantinopoulos, will now hunt for the best possible place, but has already given friends of the sport double joy and double reason to boast. Because the 16th also marked the qualification at the 2026 World Team Championship which was also a major motivation from the beginning.
