Aiantas Ag. Dimitriou won the Panhellenic Taekwondo Championship

With four gold, three silver medals and one bronze, Aiantas Ag. Dimitriou won first place in the Panhellenic Olympic Taekwondo Championship for men and women held in Oreokastro, leaving in second place the Efkarpia Athlisis Sports Center (2-0-1) and in third place AS Hwarang Fighters (2-0-0).

The “silver” world champion, Apostolis Telikostoglou, won the gold medal in the -80 kg, the medalists in the European Men and Women Championship, Dionysis Rapsomanikis and Konstantinos Hamalidis, were at the top of -58 and -68 kg respectively, Dimopoulos , a few days after winning the bronze medal at the European Junior Championships, took first place at -54 kg.

In the women, Nasia Mitsopoulou was first at -67 kg, while Tenia Sarvanaki, just 24 hours after the silver medal at the European Junior Championships in Sarajevo, won at -62 kg.

As for the seventh Olympian of Tokyo, Fenia Tzeli, the change of category, where from -57 kg she went up to -62 seemed to affect her in the “maiden” of the match, as a result of which she suffered a 5-1 defeat by Sarvanaki in second round (the first was passed bye).
