2024 Olympic Games: Dominant Performance by Kourougliev – Wins in Seconds and Competes for a Medal Tonight (updated)

Tonight, Greece may celebrate another medal in Paris

Newsroom August 9 12:00

Dauren Kourougliev was dominant against Australia’s Lawrence on his path to the bronze medal. This evening, he will face Amin from San Marino, aiming to secure Greece’s 6th bronze and 8th overall medal at the Paris Olympic Games.

Kynigakis Finishes 10th in the 10km Seine River Race. The day began early with Alkis Kynigakis competing in the men’s 10km marathon swim. His most notable achievement so far is his participation in the Tokyo Olympics, where he finished 5th with a time of 1:49:29 in the 10km open water event.

In wrestling, after Iranian Hassan Yazdani Charati advanced to the final in the men’s 86kg freestyle category, Dauren Kourougliev will have an additional chance to compete for the bronze medal through two repechage matches. Starting at noon, the Greek champion will face Australian Jayden Alexander Lawrence in the first repechage round. He will compete for the bronze medal against Myles Nazem Amine from San Marino if he advances.

At 12:30, Giorgos Kougioumtzidis will enter the competition in the first round of the men’s 74kg freestyle wrestling, facing Viktor Rasandin from Tajikistan. The first-round matches start at 12:30, with the Greek champion competing in the 9th match according to the schedule. If he advances, he will compete in the quarterfinals at 14:00 against the match winner between Feng Lu (China) and Amr Hussen (Egypt).

Later in the Day:

At 19:00, the Greek men’s water polo team, after the shock of being eliminated by Serbia in the quarterfinals with a last-second goal (12-11), will play against Australia for the 5th-8th place ranking.

Finally, at 20:30, Evangelia Platanioti and Sofia Malkogeorgou will begin their efforts in the technical duet event of artistic swimming.
