Dodecanese MP Manos Konsolas met with Hellenic Olympic Committee President Isidoros Kouvelos, proposing the organization of a special thematic event in Rhodes as part of international promotion ahead of the 2028 Olympic Games.
The proposal aims to link Rhodes with the values of modern Olympism while highlighting its rich Olympic heritage, including iconic ancient Olympians such as Diagoras and Leonidas of Rhodes. The event could be hosted at the Ancient Stadium or another suitable venue, in cooperation with the Ministry of Culture and local authorities.
The HOC President responded positively, with next steps involving coordination among the HOC, the Ministry of Culture, the Region, and the Municipality of Rhodes to define the event’s scope and organization.
