More Than an Event - Responsibility for Peace
CSIT WSG2025 Loutraki
Maria Zacharoudi is the Balkan champion and 7 times Greek champion in hepathlon. Her most remarkable success was 8th place at the European Championships 2019 in Madeira. She now plays a versatile role and marketing department in the organizing committee of the 8th CSIT WORLD SPORTS GAMES. “Maria is living proof of how close this major event in Loutraki is to active sport,” said CSIT President Bruno Molea after a well attended international press in the conference center of Loutraki Thermal Spa. Mayor Mr. Georgios Gkionis, HOCSH President Mr. Nikolaos Kerassovitis and sports director Mr. Michalis Xirogiannis had previously pointed out that this major event is far more than just a simple sports event. Conclusion: We break boundaries, we build bridges. Bruno Molea added the peace aspect of the CSIT WSG: "Sport unites where war divides. Sport brings peace." The 8th CSIT WORLD SPORTS GAMES promise to fulfill this responsibility, which has grown steadily due to the political situation in the world, as conscientiously and as well as possible. Maria's simultaneous translation at the press conference was as accurate as the tip of a javelin used in peaceful ancient games. “Well, that‘s my favorite and best discipline anyway,” she laughed.
