Women’s National Polo and 10 Athletes in IOC Los Angeles Scholarship Program

The world champion National Women’s Water Polo team was chosen by the Hellenic Olympic Committee to receive, together with ten athletes, the scholarship, through the Olympic Solidarity of the IOC, ahead of the Los Angeles Olympic Games.

After a relevant recommendation by the Olympic Preparation Committee of the EOE, chaired by Demosthenes Gyrousis, the Plenary unanimously approved the grant of the scholarship to the national women’s pole, which was 7th in Paris in 2024, while for the list of individual scholarships a total of 25 athletes from 14 federations were submitted. Priority was given to the participants of the “Paris 2024” Olympic Games, and then the final selection was made on the basis of the athletes’ performance, maintaining gender balance and the inclusion of scholars from different sports.
