THE Miltos Tentoglou He completely overcome the flu that has troubled him, traveled to China and is ready to write a story in his final length in the World Track and Track Championships.
Miltos Tentoglou has returned and is ready to claim his 13th medal in a large men’s/women’s event and his third gold in a world closed in Nanzing, China (21-23/3).
The leading Greek athlete spent a special season. Before he even managed to find his racing pace, he stayed in flu, stayed at home for days and lost the European Indoor Track.
A treaty that others might have had, but Tentoglou persuaded him. The athlete will now enter the field with the aim of doing the best possible. Claiming a medal is without a doubt his big goal. Indeed, if he manages to defend the gold medals of the two previous competitions, he will be the only one with three wins and will be behind the great Ivan Pedroso, who has achieved it five times!
The athlete made four races and has a record of 8.05 meters this year. Participation in Nanjig will be his fourth worldwide, as his debut was made in 2018 in Birmingham.
Matthias Fourlani has 8.37 meters. The Italian, however, failed to conquer gold in his European APELDORN, and was second last year behind the Greek athlete. Outside of action will be the Bulgarian European champion Bozidar Sarabogyukov, who has influenza.
The Greek World Champion and Olympic champion is without a doubt one of the top names of all time in men, as he manages to combine great performance with great wins. Something he will seek to do in China as well.
Its final will take place on Sunday afternoon (23/3, 13.40).
In addition to Matthias Fourlani, who has the best performance in the world, athletes who can cause problems for Tentoglou are the always unpredictable Jamaican, Pinok and Gil.
