Giannis Antetokounmpo will be the first Black Greek athlete to receive this distinction at the Olympic Games

The men’s national basketball team is in Lille where the groups of the Olympic Games tournament will be held, with the Greek basketball players exploring the facilities in their absence.

Today is the second day of training for the “Official Favourite” in Lille and the Greek athletes may be dripping with sweat on the floor, but when Vassilis Spanoulis blows the whistle for the end of training, they can experience the rest of the Olympic Games. The Olympic Village is several kilometers away, but the standard photo with the Olympic Rings is possible, since the organizers took care to place them in Lille as well.
