Kesidis Wins Silver at European Throwing Cup!

Iosif Kesidis won the silver medal at the European Throwing Cup U23, with a throw of 74.16 meters. This achievement is significant, although the athlete had a throw of 77.32 meters this year, which would have secured him the gold medal. Hungarian Armin Sabantos won gold with 74.45 meters, while Greek Giorgos Papanastasiou completed the podium with 70.99 meters. The men's U23 hammer throw started half an hour late due to heavy rainfall, which affected the performance of the athletes. Despite the bittersweet taste, Kesidis's distinction is a significant success for Greek athletics.
