Heracles...There are quite a few bodybuilders in Greece but it's very hard for any athlete to move forward over there because BB in Greece is dying. The only BB that we see are from other countries with a Greek background. Mike Ergas is Greek, my cousin Paul Mentis lives in Germany won the World Championships as a Middleweight was decided to give it a rest due to his age. I feel the same way about this. Being Greek and being the only IFBB Pro that has been around and represents Greece kinda sucks. Manolis Tzinidis turned pro but never really gave it 100%...

this would show all athletes who competed in international amateur events, such as the IFBB European Amateur Championships and World Amateur Championships, but only when home country was listed in the results that I received.

My x girlfriend was from Greece. Greek people are the worst. They are obsessed with being Greek. Greeks born in America call themselves GA's (Greek Americans). I think it is the other way around ::)
Kidding. I like Greeks but whats the deal with the obsession? I am Italian and proud of it. But I do not jerk off to the fact.

They used to watch "fame story" with me in the room and speak greek the whole time. I dont speak Greek lololz
But in all seriousness I am a fan of the Greeks but you guys are damn obsessed haha!

Here's a quick story...
When I first met my wife she asked me to teach her some Greek words..I asked her ''like what"..she said." how do you say God Bless you when someone sneezes"...I said "Fae skata"...so for about 2 weeks..anyone of her friends would sneeze she would say that...until someone who really knew Greek heard her and told her what it meant...she really didn't know it mean "eat shit".....LOLOLOLOLOLOL...I still laugh thinking about it.

Lol Her father called me Malaka until he got to know me. Only later did I understand what it ment! He was a great guy.
Funny story. When the Greeks won the Euro cup on Independance day a few years back I was in Boston with the wife and her family to see the fireworks. There was Greeks all over the place running around with the flag. Haha the cops finally came and told them to tone it down since it was the 4th and all the Americans where getting pissed. They looked at the cops like he had 15 heads haha.
O man dont get me started on the parents bitching about other family members!!!
-
That quirky greek sense of humour.
Like teaching someone "hey how ya doing" is "aide gamisou" and laughing your ass off when they get the shit kicked out of them.

I don't get it.
Greeks have a nasty rep for being homos in Europe. You know with their Gay Island (Mykonos) and all.
Why would they shout out to the world that they're Greek?
It's like saying: Hey look at me, I'm a Poofter!

There used to be a great teenage bodybuilder of Greek ancestry here in NY in the early 90s named Paul Grafas. MD ran an article on him saying he might be the next Arnold.

Dunno man but I can tell you Greeks take national pride to a whole new stratosphere.

The fact that Mykonos is the favourite holiday place to be if someone is gay doeasn't mean sh*t.There are other places too that attract gay ppl (i.e Ibiza) but it doesn't mean that all natives there are gay.
As for the fact that Ancient Greeks practiced homosexuality(which is done in EVERY country by a portion of the population that are homosexual-plain statistics),this is a misconception caused by the fact that in Greek art and philosophy the human body (as well as the human spirit) was thought as something beautiful that should be depicted in all forms of art(ie statues etc).
As for the whole "greeks are proud to be greeks more than other people are proud of their nationality" let's not forget that EVERY immigrant tries to hold the bonds with their native land,and not only Greeks.Sure we are proud of our history(and why shouldn't we?) but we are not more proud than other people.If you come to Greece you won't find anybody walking in the street and mumbling "How great are we Greeks".Everybody here are cool with their nationality and don't overdo it.

Thanks for setting shit straight (no pun intended).
Would you say that homosexuality is fairly accepted and common in Greek community?
Also, the Gay community of Greece has a reputation of being extremely macho, what's up with that?
There is the story of the English couple guy and a girl walking the beach in Greece a couple of years ago, and running into some Greek gang. The couple got all upset, and the girl started to scream, pleading to not be raped. The thugs just held her down.
And raped her boyfriend while forcing her to view it.
Funny story. I think it ended up with the English guy committing suicide due to be feeling ashame.
Whether or not the girl moved to Lesbos, is unclear... 8)
