Olympic champion Lefteris Petrounias has just announced his candidacy for the Hellenic Olympic Committee's Athletes Committee. In detail the announcement:
'The voice of every athlete and athlete participating in the Olympic Games must be strong and heard within the Olympic Movement. The issues we all face are many and I think that those of us who sound a little more because of an Olympic medal, it is our duty to step forward and demand for all our fellow athletes to resolve them.
That is why today after a very mature thought I decided to apply for the highly honorary position of representative of all athletes from all sports in the Hellenic Olympic Committee.'
