The outbreak of Despina Georgiadou: Injustice not to be at the Olympics

Despina Georgiadou is one of the best athletes in the world, however she will not compete in Paris. The outbreak of the Greek champion. Gift Guntura was the swordsman who secured the position that Greece is entitled to in the women’s swords, according to the points in Olympic ranking. The Greek swordsman, Despina Georgiadou, mentioned “indulgence”. “My fellow athlete (ed. Gift Gunture) and I were at No. 1 and No.2, but athletes who qualify to be from the same country are forbidden,” Georgiadou said explaining why she did not qualify in Paris to end up: “I have fought these years, fulfilled many of my dreams along the way and feel that it is unfair not to be there that day! To fight and have the opportunity to make my dream come true. I’m trying to handle it. Plus… I’ll never stop fighting because it’s just me. Thank you all for supporting messages these days.” In detail, Despina Georgiadou wrote on her personal Facebook account: “During the last two weeks, I think over and over again how to announce that I did not qualify for the Olympic Games of Paris 2024. Mostly, I’m still trying to understand it, realize it and explain it to myself. It makes no sense, as: * I have won the silver medal at the 2023 World Championships in Milan (which is sufficient for qualification in almost every sport) * I am at No.5 of the world ranking * I am at No.2 of individual qualification in Europe and * I am at the number 5 of individual qualification in the world. I am still unable to participate in the Olympic Games simply because my partner (ed. Gift Gunture) is also one of the world’s leading swordsmen. What seems completely absurd to me is that mainly in the individual Olympic Games swordsmen qualify through group events and swordsmen who try to qualify individually have little chance. Of both positions given to those who qualify individually from Europe, my classmate and I were at No. 1 and No.2… but it is forbidden that athletes qualify to be from the same country. That hurts a lot. It’s my dream, my goal, something I fought for every day. I didn’t miss a practice, I was pushing myself despite the pain no matter what the circumstances, I was encouraging myself after bad days, I was humble and concentrated after the good days. I fought those years, fulfilled many of my dreams along the way, and I feel it’s unfair not to be there that day… To fight and have the opportunity to make my dream come true. I’m trying to handle it. Plus… I’ll never stop fighting because it’s just me. Thank you all for supporting messages these days.”
