Drisbioti, Rouwendaal, Carlin,
Iakovakis and more global stars in Santorini
Athens, September 28, 2022 – The
great event of Santorini Experience that celebrates the cultural, sports and
sea tourism in one of the world’s top destinations, returned after two years of
pandemic. The new impressive running routes and the established one-of-a-kind
open water swimming route, having the unique Aegean images of Fira, Oia,
Imerovigli, Akrotiri and the Volcano as a magnificent background scenery,
gathered, amateur and professional swimmers and runners in Santorini from 22
countries such as U.S.A., Brazil, Uruguay, South Africa, Nigeria, Jamaica,
India, Great Britain, Germany and France on September 23-25.
Culture in the spotlight with the
Daedalic Kore of Thira
During Santorini Experience, the
Deputy Minister of Tourism, Ms. Sofia Zacharaki, the Mayor of Thira, Mr.
Antonios Sigalas and the Deputy Mayor of Thira and Head of Culture, Ms. Sofia
Kitsou visited the Daedalic Kore of Thira. The rare masterpiece of Greek
sculpture from the 7th century BC, which came to light in 2000 by the Thiraean
archaeologist Charalambos Sigalas, during a rescue excavation in the cemetery
of the ancient city of Thira, in southeastern Sellada, is now the central
exhibit of the under renovation Archaeological Museum of Thira. The world now,
has the opportunity to admire the archaic Kore made of white Naxian marble of
supernatural size, with height 2.30m and weight 750 kg, 22 years after its
discovery.
In the context of her visit in
Santorini, the Deputy Minister of Tourism, Ms. Sofia Zacharaki said: “I had the
pleasure of being in Santorini on September 23-25, at an iconic sports tourism
event, the Santorini Experience, which has been revived after a two-year
absence and is now establishing itself as a major sporting event, uniting
culture and sports, with many participant athletes from all over the world. The
participants even had the opportunity to take a guided tour of the
under-renovation museum of Santorini and admire the Kore of Thira, a unique
point of cultural reference not only for the island but also for Greece and the
world. With the special forms of tourism, such as sports and cultural tourism,
a fact emerges that all destinations of our country, even the most popular ones
like Santorini, have the possibility to further diversify their tourist
product, offering even more qualitative options to the visitor. It is a central
priority of the Ministry of Tourism to support events such as Santorini
Experience, to which we gave our auspices with great pleasure, reflecting our
will for practical support for similar initiatives throughout the country.
Greece and Greeks, with this year's success of tourism, have shown that we are
able not only to overcome global crises, but also exceed all expectations. The
bet for the future is for tourism development to be sustainable, balanced and
qualitative. And in this, the role of institutions like Santorini Experience is
pivotal”.
At the same time, the Mayor of Thira,
Mr. Antonios Sigalas said, among other things: “We had a very successful event
that made a new start and created a dynamic presence in culture as well. I am
very satisfied that the Half Marathon was named after the Daedalic Kore of
Thira and today we are at the Archaeological Museum of Santorini where we had
the honor and pleasure of accompanying the Deputy Minister of Tourism Ms.
Zacharaki to enjoy this amazing work. The Municipality of Thira, which places a
great deal of emphasis on tourism, but even more on culture and sports, proved
the success of its investment program with the Ministry of Culture once again,
which supports all these actions and the completion of this space so that Kore
can continue to be visited for years to come. Many thanks to everyone who
contributed to this great success”.
World Class Names in Santorini
Experience 2022
Significant athletes conveyed the
message of culture, emitted by the Daedalic Kore of Thira, through their
presence at this year’s Santorini Experience.
The athletes who were present in
Santorini and were honored by the event were:
The two-time European gold medalist
and Olympian in race walking Antigoni Drisbioti, who honored Greece and made

Munich
The Dutch gold and silver Olympic

Periklis Iakovakis
and the Greek-American ultramarathon
Konstantine Dean Karnazes who promoted and spread the message of Santorini’s
sports and cultural tradition with his participation, in the United States of
America and around the world.
New impressive running routes
The 2022 program included a new route
for the 5km as well as a Half Marathon for the first time.
In addition, the participants in the
5km “Aristides Alafouzos” saw for the first time on Friday, September 23,
Santorini from a different ankle, specifically from Akrotiri, one of the most
important prehistoric settlements in Europe and admired a new, but equally
magical view than the one we are all used to seeing.
Starting from the church of Saint
Raphael, runners headed towards the Akrotiri Lighthouse, one of the oldest
lighthouses in Greece built in 1892 and reached the westernmost point of the
island, returning to Saint Raphael for their finish. At the starting line of
the race the two-time European gold medalist and Olympian in race walking
Antigoni Drisbioti, the Olympian and European champion in the 400m. with
hurdles Periklis Iakovakis, the former international goalkeeper and European
champion with the Greek national football team Antonis Nikopolidis and
EuroLeague Legend Joe Arlauckas were present.
On Saturday September 24, the “Daedalic
Kore of Thira” Half Marathon was held starting from the Holy Church of Saint
George in Oia, passing through the enchanting areas of Imerovigli and Fira and
finish back to Oia. This route received the name “Daedalic Kore of Thira”,
after the unique archaeological finding dating back to 640 BC.
Both running races were co-organized
with AS Ifestos Thira and EAS SEGAS Cyclades.
The best swimming route in the world
On Sunday September 25, participants
swam in the unique 1.5 miles (2.4 km) “L & E Nomikos” open water swimming
route of Santorini Experience that was held from the volcano to the old port of
Fira, having the imposing view of the island in front of them, with the
approval of the Hellenic Swimming Federation.
World class names took part in the swim,
including the Dutch gold and silver Olympic medalist, world champion and 8-time
European champion in open water swimming Sharon van Rouwendaal that finished
first, the British two-time silver Olympic medalist in open water swimming Jazz
Carlin, as well as athletes of the Greek national swimming team such as
Dimitris Negris, Stellina Aplanti, Panagiotis Chiotis, Marina Triantafyllidi
and Marina Pakou.
The route was named in honor of the
benefactor Evangelos Nomikos and his wife, in whose memory the “Loula &
Evangelos Nomikos” Foundation was created, which built the visionary Cable Car
40 years ago. The route has been designed by the race’s technical director with
Olympic and world championship distinctions in swimming, Nikos Gemelos. The
event was honored with the presence of the Greek world champion in open water
swimming and athletes’ representative in the Hellenic Swimming Federation’s
Board of Directors, Kelly Araouzou.

Swimming race with utmost safety
Santorini Boatmen’s Association
contributed to the absolute safety of the race, which transported the athletes
to the volcano and contributed to the smooth implementation of the open water
swimming. Moreover, the race was assisted by the 100 specialized escorts in the
water, mainly with the support of Lifeguard Patrol which, in addition to its
staff, had several lifeboats, the Voluntary Lifeguards of Santorini, the
Atlantis Dive Center, the Santorini Nautical Club, and Caldera Yachting, all
together having more than 30 boats alongside the athletes! Santorini Experience
looked after the swimmers by providing the safety buoy which all swimmers were
required to wear for safety. In fact, athletes like Rouwendaal and Carlin set
an example by swimming with a safety buoy too.
With the end of the swimming race,
the technical director, Mr. Nikos Gemelos, said: “Every year at Santorini
Experience is unique. This year, however, is the year that the event was re-introduced
so that it will keep taking place again every year. This repetition helps us
not to miss this beautiful event and ensures that the experience can be lived
by everyone. Events like Santorini Experience bring people closer to swimming”.
All participants received a technical
t-shirt with the new, exquisite design of the event from Luanvi, while swimmers
also received a swimming cap. Santo Maris Oia and Blue Star Ferries each
offered a sustainable backpack, while at the end of each route Erotokritos Cretan
Bakery took care of the guests with traditional flavors and of course Vikos,
provided the necessary hydration before, during and after the races.
Numerous side actions
During Santorini Experience, in
addition to the races and the visit to the Archaeological Museum of Thira, the
following side actions were held: an impressive Sunset Pilates Session with
physical education instructor Mandy Persaki at Santo Maris Oia, Cocktails at
Esperisma bar restaurant and Volcano View, a unique Boat Tour at the enchanting
Santorini from Travel to Greece by Med Shore Tours & Travel, as well as
rich meals at Seaside Santorini, Trinacria, The Dolphins and Skala restaurants.
The sponsors alongside the event
The event could not have happened
without the implicit support of top Greek companies as well as hotel units that
are among the best hotels in the world.
The event’s Official Sponsors

New State-of-the-Art Aquatic Center
Will Become Home to USA Water Polo National Teams, National Junior Olympics
Irvine, CA, September 29, 2022 -- USA
Water Polo today announced its commitment to contribute $12 million to the
newly approved water polo aquatic center in Irvine, CA. The Irvine City Council
voted 4-1 in favor of the state-of-the-art aquatic center during its Great Park
Board and City Council meeting held on Tuesday, Sept. 27, which will become
home to USA Water Polo's national teams and national programming, including the
National Junior Olympics, the largest water polo tournament in the world.
USA Water Polo's $12 million
contribution will cover the cost of its exclusive use areas such as national
team locker and weight rooms, as well as subsidizing world-class elements that
will allow the facility to host training in preparation for the Olympic Games
alongside national championships, professional development camps, and
international competitions. The City of Irvine will own, maintain, and manage
the center, with a majority of usage dedicated for civic programming, including
swim lessons, Irvine Swim League, and aqua aerobics.
"We are delighted that the City of
Irvine has approved the new aquatic center in collaboration with USA Water
Polo, which we are confident will be a great asset to the City of Irvine and
its residents," said Christopher Ramsey, CEO, USA Water Polo. "We are
grateful for the City Council's consideration of this initiative and are ready
to help get the center up and running in time for the LA28 Olympic Games."
USA Water Polo's residency represents
$850 million to $1 billion in economic activity through 2055, adding an average
of more than $30 million dollars a year to the Irvine economy. As an
Irvine-based non-profit organization, USA Water Polo offers programs and
expanded opportunities to all who are interested in playing water polo.
USA Water Polo Olympic teams will now
have a permanent home in the City of Irvine. The women's national water polo
team is one of the most medaled in the history of sport, winning gold medals at
the last three Olympic Games and four consecutive world championships. The
men's national water polo team is the only national team outside of Europe to
win Olympic medals in the sport, and is coming off two consecutive silver
medals at the FINA World League Super Finals.
"The USA Water Polo national
teams are outstanding scholar athletes who represent our nation in elite
competitions around the world. Now other national teams will come to Irvine to
compete against them -- occupying local hotels, restaurants and contributing in
other vital ways to the City's financial health and quality of life. Our
athletes will also provide valuable leadership and technical training for
Irvine's youth, helping all of us appreciate the commitment required to perform
at a sustained world class level," added Ramsey.

Normalt forbinder man høj sol med
strand- og badevejr. Den bagende sol kan dog også skabe mere liv og ikke mindst
strøm i de danske svømmehaller, hvis solens stråler bliver omsat via solceller.
Desværre er det kun et mindretal af danske svømmehaller som nyder godt af
solens stråler fordi det er for bureaukratisk for kommunerne, som typisk driver
de danske svømmehaller, at opsætte solcelleanlæg på svømmehaller og offentlige
bygninger i øvrigt.
Det store problem er, at hvis en
kommune ønsker solceller på en offentlig bygning, så skal kommunen stifte et
selvstændigt driftsselskab med egen bestyrelse, lave revisorgodkendt regnskab
og i øvrigt betale moms og afgift til staten. Således er bureaukratiet med til
at hindre udbredelsen af solcellestrøm i danske svømmehaller. Reglerne er for
nyligt blevet ændret, så kommunen nu kun behøver oprette et selskab for alle
offentlige bygninger, tidligere skulle der være et selskab pr. bygning, ligesom
staten giver en række dispensationsmuligheder, men tilbage står alligevel at
kommunerne oplever det som besværligt og for dyrt, så solcellestrømmen på
svømmehallerne udebliver.
”Hos Dansk Svømmeunion er vi
naturligvis lige så optagede af den grønne omstilling, som resten af samfundet.
Og vi er ærgerlige over at bureaukrati forhindrer og besværliggør grøn strøm
til svømmehallerne” siger Pia Johansen, formand for Dansk Svømmeunion og
fortsætter:
Det kan jo ikke være rigtigt, at vi
nu står i en situation med lukningstruede svømmehaller, fordi strømmen er for
dyr og der kunne være grønne og måske billigere alternativer.” afslutter Pia
Johansen.
Hos Danmarks Idrætsforbund, som Dansk
Svømmeunion hører under sammen med 61 andre specialforbund, bekræfter konsulent
Lasse Lyck vigtigheden af at forsimple reglerne: ”Der er over 2.000 idrætshaller,
svømmehaller og andre store idrætsfaciliteter i Danmark. Desværre ligger
reglerne om selskabsdannelse og tariffer simpelthen til hinder for at udnytte
tagene bedre. Og selvom reglerne er gjort mere enkle, så kan mange kommuner og
selvejende idrætsfaciliteter stadig ikke lave en rentabel case på at opsætte
solceller på bygninger.” fortæller Lasse Lyck.
Bestyrelsesmedlem I Danmarks
Idrætsforbund Rikke Rønholt kommer med en utvetydig opfordring: ”Vi vil i
foreningsidrætten være en aktiv part i den grønne omstilling. For tiden burde
alle aktører med interesse i at producere vedvarende energi understøttes og
ikke modarbejdes af bureaukrati. Vi opfordrer staten til at finde en god
løsning på denne problematik. Idrættens fysiske rammer bør udnyttes meget bedre
til at producere grøn strøm til idrætsanlæggene – ikke bare nu i den pressede
situation."
Hos Sport & Event Park Esbjerg,
en selvejende institution under Esbjerg Kommune, har man haft solceller på
Svømmestadion Danmark i en årrække. Afdelingsleder Henrik Due fortæller: ”De
sidste syv år, har vi sparet hvad der svarer til et års strøm, fordi vi har
vores solcelleanlæg på Svømmestadion Danmark. Solcellerne er blevet en vigtig
del af driften på vores anlæg.” Slutter Henrik Due der også som bestyrelsesmedlem
i Danske Svømmebade opfordrer staten til at gøre det nemt, at få grøn strøm til
idrætsanlæggene.

After back-to-back penalty shootout
wins – in the quarter’s (vs Italy) and semi’s (vs Hungary) – Serbia clinched
the LEN European Men’s U19 Water Polo title in regular time against Spain.
The final was no less thrilling than
their previous encounters with the decisive goal coming two minutes from time.
Spain had to settle for the silver
for the sixth time since the inaugural 1970 championship.
The bronze went to Hungary who beat
Greece convincingly.
MVP: Vasilije Martinovic (SRB); Best
GK: Alejandro Alegre Lopez (ESP); Best Scorer: Nikolaos Gkillas (GRE).
Gold medal final: Serbia 9-8 Spain.
Bronze medal final: Hungary 10-7
Greece.
Places 5-6th: Italy 11-14 Croatia.
Places 7-8th: Germany 12-13
Montenegro.
After missing the podium in 2018 –
and seeing the event cancelled in 2020, Serbia finally reclaimed the throne
they previously occupied in 2014 and 2016.
In the final, Spain took the lead and
the Serbs needed almost six minutes to score their first but then quickly added
another to go 2-1 ahead with eight minutes played. Soon they doubled the gap
and still retained their 4-2 deep into the third, but the Spaniards levelled
the score in 47 seconds while the Serbs’ captain Vasilije Martinovic got his
second exclusion.
His team-mates did not panic though
and Nikola Kojic scored in the very last second of the first half for 5-4.
Again, the Serbs managed to reset the
two-goal difference twice, however, Spain would come back to even again, two
man-up goals in two minutes were enough to make it 7-7, while the Serbs missed
two extras in this period.
Not in the fourth, though, Aleksandar
Kovacevic put away a 6 on 5 after a minute. Despite missing their next man-up,
Spain could equalise, Gerard Gil sent the ball home from action for 8-8.
With 3:24 on the clock, the Serbian
head coach Uros Stevanovic, who’s passion and impulsiveness can be key to his
team’s success, received a red card – not for the first time in his career.
That appeared to give his players
even greater motivation and Martinovic sent a brilliant bouncer from the wing
under the bar in an extra, with 2:03 on the clock for 9-8.
It was Spain’s turn, but even after a
time-out they were unable to overplay the super-intensive defence of the Serbs
and the goalie could make an easy catch to deny them in the fourth straight
man-down.
The Spaniards had one more possession
and managed to launch a counter-like attack but the finish was poor from the
left side. The Serbs retained the ball in the last half a minute and could
start their celebrations together – with many supporters coming over to the
neighbourhood.
In the bronze medal match, Hungary
earned some consolation with a hard-fought win over Greece.
The Magyars took a 2-1 lead after
eight minutes, the Greeks hit back with three connecting goals early in the
second to go 2-4 up.
Then came a crucial phase as the
Hungarians regrouped themselves and after coming back to even by half-time,
they added three more in the third to stage a 6-1 run.
After falling back to 8-5, the Greeks
had desperate attempts but were unable to cut the gap to one goal at any stage.
With 59 seconds to go, Erik Molnar – silver medallist with the senior team two
weeks ago in Split – put away an extra to close down the contest.
Croatia built a massive lead in the
second period of the game played for the fifth place, and once they were 4-8
up, they never let the Italians back to the match.
Host Montenegro closed their campaign
with a win over Germany. It was a thriller as the home side blew a five-goal
lead, but David Stevovic netted the winner 1:30 from time.
Final rankings:
1. Serbia, 2. Spain, 3. Hungary, 4.
Greece, 5. Croatia, 6. Italy, 7. Montenegro, 8. Germany, 9. Netherlands, 10.
Malta, 11. France, 12. Georgia, 13. Turkiye, 14. Romania, 15. Czech Republic,
16. Slovakia.

Polo Clubs European Championships on Saturday and Sunday and it was teams from

In women’s final French team
Avranches and Italian Polisportiva Canottieri Catania stood against each other
in the fight for the gold medal and European Champion title. It was Italian

There may be plenty of racing left to come in this extended 2022 season, but we are already looking forward to a thrilling 2023 with new host cities and established favourites ready to roll out the blue carpet for the world’s best triathletes. The World Triathlon Executive Board has approved the first events of the 2023 calendar, when the World Triathlon Championship Series will finish with the Championship Finals in Pontevedra, Spain, while Hamburg, Germany will host in 2023 the Sprint & Relay World Championships, and the Spanish island of Ibiza the Multisport Championships. (Please note that more events will be announced in the coming weeks.)
On top of the events in Pontevedra
and Hamburg, two cities have already been confirmed as stops on the 2023 World
Triathlon Championship Series: the best in the world will perform once more
over the Olympic distance in Yokohama in May, while in July the athletes will
travel to Sunderland, UK, as the city makes its debut on the circuit replacing
Leeds as a host city.
On the World Triathlon Cup calendar,
the season will start with a classic destination making its long-awaited return
to the circuit, New Plymouth, in New Zealand, in March. Three other
destinations, Huatulco (MEX), Karlovy Vary (CZE) and Miyazaki (JPN) are also
already confirmed for 2023.
As for the Para triathlon calendar,
after its great success earlier this year, the Welsh city of Swansea will again
host a stop of the World Triathlon Para Series, along with Yokohama and
Devonport (Australia). For the World Triathlon Para Cups, A Coruña and Besançon
have also been confirmed for the 2023 season.
On the Multisports calendar, the
first stop of the year will be in Norway, with Skeikampen hosting the World
Triathlon Winter Championships in March. Ibiza, Spain, will be the host of the
next edition of the World Triathlon Multisport Championships.
When it comes to Major Games, Krakow
in Poland will host the European Games, while Bali, Indonesia, will be the host
city for the 2023 ANOC World Beach Games, with aquathlon part of the programme.
Hangzhou, in China, has been confirmed to host the Asian Games in 2023, with
the PanAmerican Games taking place in Santiago, Chile in November.
“I am absolutely thrilled with the
first races confirmed on the 2023 calendar,” said World Triathlon President and
IOC member, Marisol Casado, “It’s a perfect mix between new additions to our
portfolio of events, classic races across the world and more Para triathlon
venues, giving all of our athletes opportunities to perform at their best.”
