He looked measured in his statements Miltos Tendoglu after winning and being awarded a gold medal at the European Indoor Championships in Istanbul.

First of all, he thanked the Greeks who were in Turkey and “made a fantastic stand” and “a lot of nice atmosphere”.

Giorgos Pomaski did not look completely satisfied with his 8.30m jump: “It is very important for me and I am happy that I succeeded. I wasn’t as good as I wanted to be, but I tried my best. I had a big void in the jump. Okay, I’m happy.”

As you know, the Greek Olympian is not … a lark, which he admitted in his statements: “I usually jump more after the first jump, but today I did not succeed. It’s hard for me to wake up in the morning. If the race took place during the day, I promise that I would run 8.50 m. I used to sleep at odd hours in order to wake up in the morning as best as possible.

He added, “I’m not invincible, I lose sometimes too. Today I could lose because I was not in the best shape. Sometimes an outsider can do something crazy.”

asked about her tragedy in Tempe, Miltos Tedoglu showed his respect and chose not to say much: “What happened is tragic. I’m too shy to speak. The best thing is what Nifanthopoulos said, that we can fight here, but there is nothing we can do to alleviate the grief of these people. Better not say anything.”

Finally, speaking about his goals for the future, he said that he would strive for the best, that is, for the all-Greek record and gold in Budapest at the World Championships.

This was preceded by the presentation of a medal to the 24-year-old champion from Grevena and the performance of the national anthem.

It is noted that today Tedoglu once again “wrote history”, becoming the first long jumper to win a gold medal three times in a row at the European Indoor Championships.
