The purpose of the very beautiful event by the Gender Equality Committee is for everyone to realize that a sports career does not end with the creation of a family, which brings changes in everyday life but does not create insurmountable obstacles in the effort for championship.

Annamarie Phelps, Vice-President of the British Olympic Committee and President of the Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Committee of the European Olympic Committees, was invited to the event, while the Deputy Minister of Sports, Lefteris Avgenakis, was also present.
