There are good athletes. Great ones. Exceptional ones. And then there’s Miltiadis Tentoglou — truly in a league of his own. A long jumper who seems almost unreal, Tentoglou has claimed every major title imaginable: two-time Olympic champion, once World Champion, and three-time European Champion outdoors. Add to that two World Indoor titles and three European Indoor crowns. That’s 11 gold medals on the sport’s biggest stages.
And he’s not done yet.
The Greek sensation also captured the overall Diamond League title, with nine individual victories since 2021. At just 27 years old, Tentoglou is in his prime — his personal best, a jaw-dropping 8.65 meters, came in the final of the 2023 European Championships in Rome.
In the European Team Championships, he has already secured three individual wins (twice in the First Division), and he’ll arrive in Madrid chasing a fourth — aiming to complete the poker. Off the track, he’s sure to feel at home in a city full of architectural wonders, especially as an athlete whose journey began in the world of parkour.
