At this year’s conference, ambassadors of the MOTODYNAMIKI Group spoke about their successful cooperation with the MOTODYNAMICS brand, while Group executives analysed the values of Integrity, Trust, Respect and Excellence that are at the core of the Group’s actions, as well as the principles that govern this dynamic relationship with their athletes and sports in general.
The best Greek female walker of all time, two-time European gold champion, bronze world champion and Olympic champion Antigone Drisbioti spoke online in Front Runners 5.0. The best Greek pole vault jumper, the 4th Olympic champion in Tokyo Emmanuel Karalis sent his greeting through video, while the bronze Olympic champion in sailing in Rio and the 8th Olympic champion in Tokyo Pavlos Kagialis and the Greek champion in sailing Giannis Orfanos physically attended the event at the Deree – American College of Greece. At the same time, MOTODYNAMICS was represented by its Corporate Affairs Manager, Ms. Maira Passia and its Marketing Specialist, Business Development Division SIXT Greece, Mr. Antam El Malaouani.
In the context of this year’s conference, Antigone Drisbioti said the following, among other things: “The agreement with a company as a sponsor really gives us the impetus to try a little more because someone believed in us. They believe in what we do, our hard work, our life-long dedication, and personally, despite my age, which at the time was prohibitive for some, others saw in my eyes that something exists. It was a great motivation for me”.
Pavlos Kagialis stated the following, among other things: “Our relationship with the Group is a family relationship. We have been together since 2014, before I even became an Olympic champion. We have had very difficult times but also very pleasant ones. Defeats make us better. We have common values such as perseverance, cooperation spirit and teamwork. “
The Corporate Affairs Manager of MOTODYNAMICS, Ms. Myra Passia said: “The priority is on the athletes’ values, then on their performance in their sport. At MOTODYNAMICS we recognize that our relationships with our athletes are stories sharing common values, such as mutual respect and a commitment to distinction, not only in sports but also in the way we deal with our daily lives. “
