2022 EUROPEAN FAIR PLAY DIPLOMA (Individuals) made under the auspices of the European Olympic Committees goes to ATHANASIS PRODROMOU (GRE)

The Paralympic champion, Athanasis Prodromou (GRE), showed greatness during the T20 long jump final at the Tokyo Paralympic Games 2020, where he won the silver medal. Everyone is talking about the great move of the Greek athlete. When Latif Abdul Romli (MAS), who eventually won the gold medal, was injured in his fifth attempt, Prodromou immediately ran to his aid, entering the pit. He then stood at the Malaysian Paralympian’s side and supported him and patted him on the head as medics came to take him away in a wheelchair.

Commentators from Romly’s native Malaysia, and all over the world, praised Prodromou for immediately putting the competition aside to help his fellow athlete. The foreign media praised the interest and the way the Greek athlete acted immediately after the Asian athletes injury. “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 the foreign media.
