Thessaloniki has offered a lot to Greek sports and Olympism, has contributed many medals to the Olympic Games and has all these historical clubs, which produce huge work every day, so that the Greek amateur sports remain standing. Therefore, the decision to hold this historical meeting here is not formal but substantial, because in addition to the honor we want to give to all those who make us proud of their successes, namely the athletes, we also want to start actions for the Olympic events, mainly in the field of Olympic education. For this reason, we announce the establishment of the office of HOA, in collaboration with the Olympic Museum of Thessaloniki, the promotion of which is a life goal for our First Vice President Stelios Aggeloudis. In fact, the cooperation with the Olympic Museum will not be limited only to HOA. There will be joint actions to celebrate the Olympic Day, in September there will be actions for the Olympic sports, while on Tuesday the \"Women and Sports\" committee of the HOC with its President Mrs. Xenia Argeitaki has planned an event here in Thessaloniki, aiming to get more women into sports. Let me also say that we are signing an agreement with the School of Dentistry of the University of Thessaloniki, which undertakes free dental care for all selected athletes participating in the Adopt an Athlete on the Road to Tokyo program. Thus, by solving all the problems of our athletes regarding their health, we give them the space and time to focus exclusively on their effort, in order to qualify for Tokyo and then bring on other successes. In closing, let me say that today is a difficult day for us, as we lost a member of the HOC Plenary Session, Theodoros Vasilakis, who really contributed a lot to sports and Olympism \", said Mr. Capralos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hoc.gr\/sites\/default\/files\/IMG_20180518_121800.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From left: Spyros Zannias, Manolis Kolymbadis, Stelios Aggeloudis, Spyros Capralos, George Alikakos, Manolis Katsiadakis and Vassilis Anatolitis<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stelios Aggeloudis, representing the Olympic Museum, pointed out: \"As you know, HOA is anentity belonging to the Hellenic Olympic Committee with George Alikakos as President and Kyriaki Oudatzi as Vice President of the Olympic Museum. Through the cooperation we have had recently, we saw that the Olympic Museum can undertake the support and organization of all those initiatives related to the goals of the Hellenic Olympic Academy, which are none other than the dissemination of its principles and values of Olympism and the consolidation of the relationship with the educational community. You will see all these programs, based in Thessaloniki, starting from the Olympic Museum to the wider area. I would also like to thank Mrs. Oudatzi and Mr. Alikakos for their cooperation in this initiative\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hoc.gr\/sites\/default\/files\/IMG_20180518_124158_1.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stelios Aggeloudis, Spyros Capralos, Kyriaki Oudatzi and George Alikakos<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The President of HOA George Alikakos emphasized: \"I feel proud to be in Thessaloniki for this cooperation, which will be one of the best so far.

This will happen in the region of Ilia and we must carry it across all of Greece. I thank the Hellenic Olympic Committee and its President for entrusting me with this position, Mr. Aggeloudis for the cooperation, and Mrs. Kyriaki Oudatzi\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In turn, Mrs. Oudatzi said: \"We thank the Hellenic Olympic Committee for its presence here, it is mainly a reward for everything we do. As Vice President of the HOA and head manager of its office in Thessaloniki, I want to say that we will try to spread Olympic values \u200b\u200bto the world and that will be the goal of all of us\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After the signing of the agreement of the National Olympic Academy with the Olympic Museum \u2013 Protergia of Thessaloniki, followed the meeting of the Plenary Session of the Hellenic Olympic Committee.

We must cultivate the Olympic ideal from an early age, so that we can say that Thessaloniki promoted the Olympic idea. What I can promise you is that I will do everything I can to raise the level of the Olympic Museum as high as possible.
