Miltos Tentoglou Aims for Another World Indoor Championship Title in Nanjing

Greek athlete Miltos Tentoglou is set to compete for another world title at the World Athletics Indoor Championships in Nanjing, China (March 21-23, 2025). On Sunday afternoon (March 23, 2025), Tentoglou will aim for yet another peak performance in the men’s long jump final. The Greek champion, who holds the title of world champion from the last two editions, remains optimistic despite recent challenges. He missed the European Championships due to illness but has since returned and is ready to vie for his 13th major medal and third gold in a World Indoor Championship. If he successfully defends his titles, Tentoglou will become the only athlete with three consecutive victories, trailing only Ivan Pedroso, who achieved five wins. With a season-best jump of 8.05 meters, Tentoglou faces competition from Italian Matia Guscetti, whose personal best stands at 8.37 meters. However, Guscetti failed to secure gold at the European Championships in Apeldoorn. Meanwhile, Bulgarian European champion Boyzidar Saramogiov will not participate due to illness. Fans can watch the event live on ERT2, where Tentoglou aims to continue his legacy as one of the greatest names in men’s long jump history.
