One person wins FOUR Olympic Events!

After the 2019 Olympics, the spotlight was on one young Athenian, Alexander Spenspopulous. Currently aged 17, he won the Discus, 200m,  Javelin, and 100m at the most recent Olympics. Our reporter, Thelma Manoli met him after the fourth win, and he said this. “I just want to thank my family, and my co-workers who covered my work to let me come!” He won the Javelin, by a shocking 22ft farther than the second best at 97.6m. No other competitor as one 4 medals since, the famous Colubra Endius in 296 B.C.  He plans to continue his career in the next Olympics, and has already been accepted by the Athenian Javelin Team, and the Athenian Discus Team. Even other city-states have been trying to have him join their team, with Sparta offering him 5 years supply of olives. Just after, Mr. Spenspopulous got home, fellow reporter Thanos Cilissas got to ask him if he would stay in Athens. He said, “I will see what happens, but currently I’m going to stay in Athens, it’s great when everyone is supporting you. Alexander has even been offered a  scholarship at the Athenian University for Athletic Competitors. Let’s hope he brings more medals back to Athens!
