Ιconic venue plays host to first Masters tournament of 2019 Panhellenic Championship
Thessaloniki, Greece, July 5, 2019. With a crowd of more than 700 spectators in attendance at the iconic Aristotelous Square in the centre of Thessaloniki, the first Masters tournament of the 2019 Panhellenic Beach Volleyball Championship took place this past weekend.
In the men’s final, Rafail Baniotis and Georgios Terzoglou beat Vassileios Mouchlias and Giorgos Michelakis 2-0 (21-19, 21-15), thus winning their second Masters tournament as a team over the last two years.
Dimitra Manavi and Konstantina Tsopoulou prevailed in the women’s final, due to injury of Pigi Anna Metheniti in the beginning of the second set. Metheniti could not continue playing and with her teammate, Anna Spanou, she had to forfeit the game.
The Secretary General of the Hellenic Volleyball Federation, Mr Nektarios Chalvatzis and the new Mayor of Thessaloniki, Mr Konstantinos Zervas awarded the eventual winners of the competition at the truly iconic venue set up at Aristostelous Square.
