I did everything I could for my homeland, Greece, and for the Greeks.”
This is the statement of the first Greek athlete in wrestling to win a gold medal in the men’s category. Giorgos Kougioumtzidis, in addition to being the 2022 European champion, has now also been crowned world champion.
He spoke about his journey to the top step of the podium in Croatia, in the 79 kg category of freestyle wrestling, sharing his story by uniting his own Voice with the Voice of all Greeks, through ERT’s global radio service, Voice of Greece, on the program “Athletic Voice”, hosted by Grigoris Nanis.
