Thanasis Prodromou - From Agios Athanasios to Kaftatzogleio and the world bow In his first participation in the Paralympic Games, Thanasis Prodromou not only managed to win a medal, but also to make the whole world public opinion bow to his ethos.
Ο Greek athlete "flew" at 7,17 m in the final of the T20 long jump and celebrated the silver medal. He started the track at the age of 14, when his coach, Anestis Mantartzidis, believed in his talent. The relationship they have developed over the years is like a father with a son. And Thanasis was very sad that he failed to have him next to him in Tokyo. But he justified it by winning the medal.
"At first my parents hesitated to take me but then my uncle took me and left me. And I was going back and forth by bus, Every day I do 140 km. From Agios Athanasios to Kavtatzogleio and back home again "he has revealed in his statements. "I wanted the victory to be mine. I did not want anyone else to be responsible. If I do well be it because I did well, if I do not do it well because it's my fault and no one else. To be completely responsible for the result "he adds for the reasons he decided to take up athletics.
The international media and social media bowed to Prodromou not only for his performance, but for his ethos, to help the Malaysian athlete, Latif Romly when he was injured in the sand during the 5th attempt. "A big hug from Malaysia", "All the beauty of sports in the movement of the Greek athlete", "Thank you Greece", "Respect", "Congratulations", "You are wonderful" are just some of everything that is written and presented in foreign media for the child from Agios Athanasios.
