With an explosive outburst she needed to Katerina Stefanidis to open the hatch to the invisible facet of Greek sports activities. The explanation for the suspension of the Olympic gold medalist within the pole vault was an incident that occurred throughout the Panhellenic Athletics Championship in Volos, the place she obtained feedback about her weight loss program and weight.
“The issue in Greek classical sports activities is them. Those that just about ruined my very own profession. Those that virtually destroyed the profession of Emmanuel Karalis. Those that, as an alternative of studying from our successes, proceed their sloppiness,” wrote 34-year-old Stefanidis.
Her submit intimately:
“I am scripting this submit in hopes of serving to one particular person. Over the weekend throughout the Panhellenic Athletics Championships I had a number of completely different males (coincidence? Most likely not) commenting on what and the way a lot I eat.
I did not all the time have the identical self-control however the final time and whereas I used to be consuming dinner after my race, with what little self-control I had left, I attempted to elucidate how disrespectful it’s to inform a grown feminine athlete how a lot to eat. No. .. Sorry. To a feminine athlete. No, sorry once more. To a girl. No. To an individual of any age or gender.
In Greek classical sports activities there’s a huge downside in how the bodily picture of an athlete is handled. As a result of some coaches do not know the way to prepare their athletes, when the athlete does not do effectively it is due to their weight. What ought to I obtain as an athlete in order that I haven’t got each irrelevant particular person telling me what and the way a lot to eat? Exhibiting zero respect to me and my coach?
If that is what I stay after what I’ve achieved within the final 20 years what does each little one who goes by means of puberty stay? Or each lady or man, athlete or athlete who does not dare to talk up in opposition to anybody who provides their unsolicited opinion? I typically suppose how can I assist these youngsters? These individuals; What must be executed to make sure that nobody is ever allowed to set foot in a stadium once more? Grievance; Grievance; I do not know, I am making an attempt to suppose. However largely I strive to not suppose. I am unable to consider what number of gifted youngsters stop sports activities as a result of they’d a coach like that inform them they are not reaching their aim as a result of they weigh 1 kilo extra.
Do you suppose that the issue in Greek classical sports activities is the services? You’re flawed. The issue in Greek classical sports activities is them. Those that just about ruined my very own profession. Those that virtually destroyed the profession of Emmanuel Karalis. Those that, as an alternative of studying from our successes, proceed their bullshit. The issue in Greek sports activities is them. Those that actually destroyed the careers of many sportsmen and ladies whose names, sadly, we’ll by no means know.”
