Alexi Pappas is one of the "heavy assets” of Greece in track-and-field, as she holds the 10K track national record (31.36.16) and recently came close to break the Greek female marathon record by running 2.34.26 in Houston. She lives in Los Angeles, USA, but not long ago she surprised us very positively, after deciding to come in Patras, Greece, where under the guidance of coach Ioannis Dagkoglou started to train in order to run a major spring marathon and qualify for the Tokyo Olympic Games. As positive as Alexia's surprise came to us, however, the outburst of the coronavirus pandemic dramatically changed everything in our lives and in sports as well, with the Olympics being moved to 2021. What are the feelings of an elite athlete when suddenly everything changes in her schedule? What additional problems do the pandemic poses in her preparation? Why she came to Patras for preparation and what differences she founds in training with the US. Is the dream lost or always alive? What are the new racing targets? An exclusive in-depth interview at Advendure with the Greek long distance champion Alexi Pappas and her coach Ioannis Dagkoglou!
