Melina Georgiou was one of the stars that shone in the Panhellenic Men’s-Women’s Tae Kwon Do Championship hosted at the weekend in Patras (“Tofalos”). The young champion of Ayandas Agios Dimitrios won the gold medal in the 46 kg category, even though at the age of 16 she was the youngest athlete to participate in this category (imagine that she is a 2nd High School student).
And for those who want to know more regarding the talented champion who excelled in the palace in Bozaitika, we should note that she is No. 1 in the European ranking in Juniors (!), with all that implies for her prospects. It is also worth noting that in “Tofalos” he also qualified for the European Championship that will be hosted next month in Serbia, while he has already won a 3the place in the European Games in Tallinn.
The secret of her success is systematic training (every day – even on Sundays – for two hours), but the truth is that young Melina has sports in her genes, as her mother, Georgia Giannioti, was an old champion in tae kwon do , while the father was also a football player in Atromitos, OFI, Levadeiakos and Anorthosis. In fact, the latter also helps her in training, as she has finished training.
Melina Georgiou and her family thanked her coach Thodoris Zinelis (coach of the National team as well), for the excellent work he does.
As far as Melina Georgiou’s future is concerned outside of the competition arena, that is the studies in Veterinary Medicine!
