A spectacular Tentoglou measured 8.30 meters in the long jump final on Sunday to finish first.
This was his third consecutive gold in the Indoor Europeans, the first ever to achieve it, as he has become a force reckoned with in the continent.
He even quipped later that he did not perform so well because he had not had a good night’s sleep and that had the final taken place in the evening, he would have made 8.50 meters.
On Friday, Nikos Andrikopoulos made his second-best-ever effort in the triple jump to claim the silver medal.
The 25-year-old jumper reached 16.58 meters, while another Greek, veteran Dimitris Tsiamis, finished seventh with his best effort at 16.39 meters.
Then on Sunday, he ended up second in the men’s pole vault, jumping over 5.80 meters in the final to earn himself silver.
He narrowly missed on gold but completed a very successful showing by the Greek athletes in Istanbul.
