Jumper Tentoglou does Luffy's "Gear Second" Pose Before Winning Olympic Gold + Charming interview

Greek Long Jumper Miltiadis Tentoglou during the Athlete's entrance before the Long Jump final in Tokyo did the "Gear Second" pose from One Piece , then proceeded to win the Gold Medal. Tentoglou is quite the character as you will see from the interview he gave right after the competition had finished. He is also a massive Anime fan judging by his Instagram

The surname of Miltiades Tentoglou, "Tentoglou" comes in two parts, the first part comes from the greek verb "tentono" (τεντώνω), meaning to stretch, and the suffix -oglou. So, he has the surname that points to stretching, the exact power Luffy has due to Gomu Gomu no Mi. Congratulations my fellow Greek, Gold Olympian Miltiades Gomu-Gomu-no-Glou.
