Last night Nikos Andrikopoulos won the silver medal at the European Indoor Championships in Istanbul in the triple jump with a jump of 16.58m.

Miltos Tendoglu and Katerina Stefanidis, who made it to the finals of their competitions, will try to replenish their collection of medals. Katerina Stephanides will compete this afternoon. The morning awakening affected Milto Tedoglu, who needed two jumps to get a “ticket” for tomorrow’s (morning) long final. Our champion had a first jump of 7.91 m and a second jump of 8.03 m with a qualifying limit of 7.95 m. Romanian Gabriel Bitan also qualified with a score of 8.03. It is expected that the main rival of Miltos Tedoglu for the gold medal will be the Swede Tobias Modler, who reached 8.14 m on the 3rd attempt.

Katerina Stephanides will attempt the jump this afternoon (18:05) that will land her a spot on the European podium. In qualifying, he easily cleared 4.55m. “I feel like something good can come out of the final. The favorite is Tina Satti. If she loses this match, she will lose herself,” the Olympic champion said after the match.

Nicole Kyriakopoulou, on the other hand, did not make it to the final, as she was unable to “conquer” 4.45 m. In her statements, she also referred to an accident in Tempe. “I want to express my condolences to the families of the victims. Our thoughts are with them. I didn’t race this year and I knew it would cost me.”

The athlete who moved from the Greek delegation was Polynices Emmanouilou. The 20-year-old girl, before taking her place on the 60-meter battery, touched the mourning she was wearing and pointed to the sky, which brought tears to the eyes of the Greeks and Turks as both peoples experience a national tragedy. He covered the distance in 7.26 to reach the semi-finals, set a personal best, and finished as the 7th best of all time for Greek entries.
