Emmanouil Karalis: "No Height Scares Me Anymore" After Winning Silver

When an athlete believes, and when you truly have a team around you with people, my family, my partner, and all the positive energy, even when you don't believe, they give you the positive energy that makes you surpass yourself.

"When an athlete believes, and when you truly have a team around you with people, my family, my partner, and all the positive energy, even when you don't believe, they give you the positive energy that makes you surpass yourself," Karalis stated. He expressed deep satisfaction and happiness, thanking everyone who stayed up late to watch his performance. He noted that he completed a "double lap" around the track while Miltos (Tenoglou, likely referring to another Greek athlete) did a single lap, highlighting his energetic celebration.

When asked if any height now intimidates him, Karalis confidently replied, "Nothing, nothing. There is no height that scares me anymore; I don't want to set limits. I managed to prove to myself that you have to see things positively. Whatever you set your mind to, you can achieve it."

On a scale of 1 to 10, rating his satisfaction with the competition, Karalis gave it a "ten," but quickly added, "not with a tone, because I'm hungry, very hungry for what's next." This indicates his drive to continue pursuing higher goals and achievements in his athletic career.
