On the threshold of the 2012 London Olympics, the Greek athletes are prepared to do their best to make us proud. Their transportation to the United Kingdom will be kindly offered by Olympic Air. The official website of the Hellenic Olympic Committee will regularly be posting updates on the course of events related to the Greek delegation.
When it comes to the economic crisis, athletes have to overcome a series of problems and keep in mind the burden of their people, but let’s hope nothing hurts the spirit of Greeks.
“Of course, the crisis affects you because the world of athletics, the world of sports, is part of society,” Greek 400-meter hurdle runner Iakovakis told The Associated Press. “If you consider that I have a family and two children, everything is inside my mind because I also have to think of the future.”
The Hellenic Olympic Committee announced the Greek team for the London Olympics on July 11. There are 105 athletes, 66 men and 39 women, who will compete in 20 sports.
Athletes by category are:
