By Olympic to do the 2/2 in women and men in Greek Cupits organization Final Four was completed in Larissa and sport-fm.gr found at the Municipal Swimming Pool of New State, records what the day of the finals left us (17/4).
Beautiful pictures with children and athletes
The choice of the Municipal Swimming Pool of Nea Politia in Larissa for the organization of the Final Four was in itself a risky one, since we are talking about an outdoor pool. The crumbs in the semifinals, it rained (fortunately not intense) and everything went well, with the people being the one who stole the show, since despite the water that had been falling since Sunday morning (17/4), he was there to support his team and watch great athletes. With the completion of the men’s final, Dozens of children came down from the stands around the pool, took countless photosAs with the Cup winners, they collected autographs and lived unprecedented moments, in a city that seemed to embrace the event.
The dismissal of Gennidounias who went to “tumbling” the match
The score may have been 9-3 in favor of Olympiacos, but the dismissal of Gennidounias without substitution about 5 ‘before the final, completely changed the match, with Vouliagmeni reducing to the goal (9-8), losing even an opportunity to send the final to the penalties in the last phase. However, the 29-year-old Greek international pole vaulter surprised as well was sent off for hitting an opponentsomething that in no case does not match the excellent character which has been shown all years in swimming pools. “It made me sad”said Thodoris Vlachos, with Gennidounias in tears after the conversation with his coach as soon as the final was over.
The incredible Zerdevas and the fantastic Xenaki
In order for Olympiacos to manage to make this +6 that finally saved him after the return of Vouliagmeni, the main role was not played by Filip Filipovic’s four, but by the great performance of Manolis Zerdevas with incredible surgeries on shot, four-on-four, penalty, really enjoyable. Although Piraeus took on Makros Bigiats in the summer, one of the best goalkeepers in the world, the Greek international is irreplaceable. On the other hand, Elena Xenaki, as she had stated in an interview on News Bulletin 247, went from Vouliagmeni to get titles, but she probably did not imagine such immediate results. Apart from the three in team level, she was the one who took home and the awards top scorer and MVPproving that she is at her best.
The biggest “foul” of the Final Four was in the cups
Most people may not have even noticed, since this could only be done if they saw them side by side, though the men’s cup was larger than the women’s. This wrong choice obviously “hit” badly, since it made no sense to do. In fact, the athletes of Olympiakos in discussions did not hide their disappointment for the incident, talking about equality and their right. Many of them even shared the insta story of Nikol Eleftheriadou, who of course commented on the event, trying to understand that in the year 2022 something like this can happen.
