Elina Tzengko and Andreas Pantazis claimed national titles in the women’s javelin and men’s triple jump respectively, highlighting the opening day of the Greek Athletics Championships at the Panthessaliko Stadium in Volos. Tzengko, representing AS Kentavros, secured her seventh Greek national title with a best throw of 57.75 metres, finishing comfortably ahead of the field. The mark was just shy of her season’s best of 58.37m, as the 2022 European champion was never seriously challenged.

Anastasia Dragomirova finished second after producing a personal best throw of 50.79m, while Margarita Tsoukala claimed the bronze medal with 49.75m.Advertising1 (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); In the men’s triple jump, Pantazis (AO Megaron) captured his second Greek national championship, recording a winning leap of 16.39m.
