Panhellenic Games a success
Victoria dominated the 4th Panhellenic Games held in Darwin
The victorious New South Wales basketball team were gold megal winners.
The smashing success of the 4th Panhellenic Games, held in Darwin from September 29 to October 2, came to a close last Sunday night.
Victoria dominated the games winning both the men's and women's soccer finals, and placing second in basketball to a strong New South Wales side. The Victorian athletes also dominated track and field and swimming, bringing home plenty of gold medals.
Athlete Kasandra Hatzipantelis proved a highlight winning six gold, two silver and one bronze in various track and field events.
The games themselves provide a unique experience for Hellenic youth in Australia, as part of the Oceania, not only competing in athletic pursuits but also to represent and showcase their cultural identity.
