Sad.

Amanda Turner:

The Hellenic (Greek) Gymnastics Federation announced Tuesday it has cancelled the upcoming national championships, leaving its top stars shocked and frustrated with the decision.

“All I can say is that everything seems to go from bad to worse,” rings specialist Eleftherios Petrounias told Greek media on Tuesday. … Seriously we didn’t ever expect that we wouldn’t even have the chance to compete at the Greek championships, even traveling at our own expense.”

The federation cancelled the event after the Greek Olympic Committee urged a boycott Monday of all national sports competition from April 12-13, to protest the Greek government’s actions amid the nation’s ongoing financial crisis. …

All the attention stuns even her mother, who grew up in the spotlight herself as an elite athlete.

“It’s crazy, it’s wonderful, but it’s so far away it just seems ridiculous,” Marlowe said of her daughter’s possible collegiate experience. “But it’s real.” …

… even those involved in the trend acknowledge they don’t like it.

“It is a huge concern,” Utah coach Greg Marsden said. “It opens up the door for more problems down the road.
