Είμαι ευτυχισμένος με αυτό το αποτέλεσμα !
Πρώτα για όσα πέρασα τα τελευταία χρόνια και βρίσκομαι σήμερα εδώ και ύστερα γιατί μου δίνει κίνητρο αυτό το αποτέλεσμα να συνεχίζω να γίνομαι καλύτερος !

“I’m happy with the result! First due to all I have been through in the last years and I’m here today and because the result motivates me to continue and improve myself. The top belongs to us! Thank you Greece!”
