Substantial rise in the world ranking for Gionis, Toliou, Stamatouros after the European Championship

The ITTF also calculated points from the European Team Table Tennis Championship, which was held in Zadar from the 12th to the 19th of the month, for the rating tables and there was a substantial rise for three of our internationals: Panagiotis Gionis, who rose to world number 193, Katerina Toliou, who was 102 places higher and Giorgos Stamatouros, who went 60 places above.

The specific athletes had four, three and one victory respectively in their individual matches in the city of Croatia and Konstantinos Konstantinopoulos who also had a positive result returned to the tables.

It should be noted that the ITTF counted points for each athlete from the European Championship according to the position of his/her national team and how many wins he/she had. If the athlete had only defeats, no points were awarded.

In the men’s world ranking, Gionis appears 17 places higher. He picked up 13 points from his excellent performance in Zadar and moved to number 193 with 88 points overall.

Stamatouros, who had achieved the victory in the decisive match of the group against England, received 3 points. It went to number 412 from last week’s 472 with 18 points.

K. Konstantinopoulos was out of wr as he lacked international rated tournaments. On his return the ITTF has marked him as new and with 3 points after his victory in the knockout match against Croatia he is at number 867.

For Yannis Sgouropoulos there are no points from Zadar, our champion is at number 358.

In the women’s world ranking, Toliou saw a benefit after her very positive presence at the European Championships. With its victories in the matches against Slovenia and Austria, it gained 7 points and went to number 402 from 504 the previous week. In total he now has 17 points.

For Malamatenia Papadimitriou, Elisavet Terpou and Ioanna Gerasimatou, there are no grades from Zadar. In wr, they are in the current week at positions 396, 596 and 865 respectively.
