Greece’s beloved Lefteris Petrounias has once more ascended to the Olympic podium. The Greek rings specialist has clinched the bronze medal in Paris, writing another chapter in his illustrious career.

The indomitable Petrounias has done it again. With a breathtaking performance, he secured a score of 15.100, claiming the third spot on the podium. The Greek athlete continues to weave his legend, cementing his place in the annals of Greek sports and the history of the rings event.

Petrounias has become the first rings specialist in history to earn three Olympic medals. Qualifying for the final with the sixth-highest score, the Greek athlete delivered a heart-stopping performance. Competing third in the rotation, he executed his routine flawlessly, earning a well-deserved 15.100.
