Τoday we learn about a sport that is chasing official recognition… as an Olympic discipline. It’s Pickleball and there’s strong Greek participation! In Greece it’s not yet well known, but a dynamic group of Greeks from Canada have set out to change that: to bring the sport to Greece and form a national team. They’ve already made it happen, the team is called Team Greece, based in Toronto, made up exclusively of Greeks, and proudly triumphing under the blue and white flag on the courts of Ontario.
Let’s meet Eleftheria Dimitrakopoulou, Athina Filippopoulou, and Giorgos Dimitrakopoulos. They talk to us about the sport, its rules, and its prospects… but above all, they speak about Greece, with passion and love.
