His 38 year old athlete Napoleon Kefalopoulos was ahead from the start of the race. In the last kilometers, she increased the pace and managed to break away.

The 38-year-old runner trains with Napoleon Kefalopoulos. According to her, he was the right person who came at the right time. “We have good chemistry with Napoleon Kefalopoulos. It has a strictness that makes me disciplined. This is what I need and what I was missing. Fortunately, it happened on time,” he said.

38-year-old Kardiciotissa works in tsipuradik supported by her parents. In recent months, he has put an end to it to prepare for the big games. However, when he works, everyday life is hard. “I try my best to find time to rest. When I work, I train in the morning and often in the afternoon. Before, especially in Karditsa where I live, I often went out late at night because of the heat.”
