Nicole Kyriakopoulou wrote in her post: “The power of the Olympic flame inspires fans and athletes around the world. The highest honor to be carried by the torchbearers… that “strangely” this Olympic year the “lottery”… to participate, did not manage to locate me despite my humble sports resume!”
For her part, Mania Bykov in her own post noted: “The greatest honor and emotion to participate in the journey of the Olympic flame, I cried today with my fellow athlete Dimitra Assilian and her words on the Acropolis, I swelled with pride seeing Nikolas Papagelis torch relay, I shuddered with Filio Manoliudakis in our Chania, with the triathlete Athena Adaou and so many others.
At the same time, today I am reading the post of Olympic champion Nicole Kyriakopoulos about her non-selection as a torchbearer and I am deeply saddened, when the internet is filled with photos of politicians of all positions, torchbearers
As the EOE expressly states, the participation of POLITICAL and RELIGIOUS actors is PROHIBITED for the participation in the Olympic torch relay.
Torchbearers are designated, Olympians, Distinguished athletes in order of priority of distinction and THOSE who distinguished themselves in the arts, letters and social service
The Olympic flame and all that it sacredly represents throughout the centuries as a global symbol of Peace, Hope and the passing on of the timeless values of the “Olympic Spirit” and “Eu Agonizesthai” is impermissible to be used to build profiles, gather votes and be turned into a political tool exploitation”.
