  • [01] Children flock to City of Athens Street Events

    More than 5,000 children turned out on Sunday for a new Street Event organised by the City of Athens aiming to transform the city center into a sports field for youngsters.

    The children flocked to downtown Panepistimiou street where tennis, soccer, basketball and hockey fields were set up by the organisers.

    Athens Mayor Nikitas Kaklamanis, City of Athens Youth and Sport Organisation (ONA) chairman Vassilis Kikilias and a bevy of prominent soccer, basketball and tennis stars were also on hand throughout the day

    The street events were organised under the auspices of the Education and Life-Long Learning Ministry.

    The event was part of a series of three sports happenings titled "Athens City Games 2010" aiming to present a different side of Athens and showcase a more outgoing, healthy and positive way of life for the residents and the city, according to the organisers.

    The City Games kicked off on Sunday, April 25, with the city's classic sporting event, the Athens Fun Run, the motto of which was "This year, I'm running for me!". The Fun Run is Athens' oldest and largest participatory sport event.
