Yes, she's just picked up another athletic award.
This one from the Poros Rowing Club for her success in the Balkanian rowing competition.
A silver medal
And another one....
Here she is with her mother having received an Achievement Certificate from the Kapodistrian University of Athens.
The award was for her entry to the University not only because of her excellent examination results
but also her rowing prowess
Here she is doing the happy dance with her sister Nels. Outside and inside LIDLs supermarket. These crazy sisters savour every minute.
They have both just passed their motorbike and car licences. Driving through Athens streets.
Nels will be running a half marathon in Rhodes next month. She was a medal winning rower too before giving it up to study.
Now she's a dietician. And always an athlete. Last weekend we met briefly while I was out walking. She was doing a 15k run around the island. Up hills and down dales.
Πολύ ωραία.. Μπράβο στα κορίτσια.

Deleteyay for Poppi! She's a girl who's going places.
ReplyDeleteShe is dynamic!!
DeleteHow fabulous on all accounts. Setting themselves up for life. Can I ask if they’re proficient in both Greek and English. On that subject do you speak Greek. Marie, Melbourne, Australia
ReplyDeleteThe children and grandchildren are bilingual. The grandchildren have various certificates too.
DeleteI speak, read and write Greek. But I have a terrible kiwi accent ☺️
Lovely girls.
ReplyDeleteI think so 😁
DeleteWell done Poppi. In my rowing days I never won anything. It was the other 7 rowers fault, of course!
ReplyDeleteOf course!!
DeleteShe has rowed in a 6 oared boat, whatever it's called. A lot of teamwork. And hard work
