Polly Saregou, Olympic champion and basketball champion, who took 7th place in the 2004 Athens Olympics, visited the 6th Gymnasium of Kalamaria as a representative of the National Olympic Academy, in the framework of the 12th Panhellenic Day of School Sports.
During the visit, the students participated in group activities and interactive games, through which the values of Olympism were approached in a simple and experiential way: respect, excellence and friendship. Through short exercises and discussions, students focused on the importance of cooperation, effort and self-discipline.
Polly Sarregou spoke openly about her own journey in sports, mentioning moments that defined her career. Without idealizing, she highlighted how dedication and consistency can become a tool of life, on and off the field. Her message was not focused on excellence, but on how sport can shape characters with empathy and social responsibility.
