The “return” of women’s national polo to the top teams in Europe was paved with… silver. The silver medal should become a springboard for the representative group to again celebrate the differences at the World Championships and the Olympic Games, because the second place at the European Championships, as coach Alexia Kammenu told K, should also increase the psychological load.

The European runner-up had the youngest average age at the Split tournament. They may not have been able to beat world champions Spain (lost 6-9), but they showed it was only a matter of time. “I am proud of my athletes and their performance in and out of the pool. We returned to the medals, and the team showed what they are capable of. But we should not be disoriented by this success. The silver medal proves our potential, but the road to the Paris Olympics will be difficult,” said Alexia Kammenou.

The national team, in Europe, had another difference. Eleftheria Pleuritus was named MVP. After a short break, the silver girls will join their clubs to start preparing for the championship. “I know the work of club coaches very well. I want to say a big thank you to them because they have a share in this success,” Ms. Cummenow told us.
