Olympic Games 2024: The Olympic Team Returns – Spotlight on Karalis and Tentoglou – Watch Videos, Photos

Greece won 8 medals in Paris, marking one of its best performances in the Olympic Games

Newsroom August 12 08:23

A short while ago, Greece’s Olympic team returned to the country on an AEGEAN flight from Paris.

Greece secured 8 medals at the Paris Olympic Games, including 1 gold, 1 silver, and 6 bronze. The only gold medal was won by Miltos Tentoglou in long jump, who drew all the photographers’ attention.

It is worth noting that due to the fires in Attica, the welcome ceremony was subdued, and no special reception was held. For the same reason, SEGAS canceled the scheduled press conference for the Olympians at “Eleftherios Venizelos” Airport.

The spotlight was also on Emmanouil Karalis, who won the bronze medal in the pole vault and was the flag bearer for Greece at the closing ceremony.
