Elina Djengo

Her name is Elina Xhengo, born and raised by Albanian parents and an Albanian family, but in professional sports she represents Greece where she has spent most of her life.

In the evening of Luiza Gegë's gold medal, Xhengo won the gold medal in javelin throwing, coloring even more red and black the sky of Munich, where the European athletics championship is taking place.

Elina was born in Greece in 2002 and is only 20 years old but is considered the future of this discipline. Her parents emigrated many years ago and today she is considered the pride of Greece.

The media has devoted a lot of space to her, while the athlete herself humbly states that thanks to her achievement, she will be able to remove her mother from her job as a cleaner since she has sacrificed a lot for her until she was declared European champion.

She got her citizenship just a short time ago precisely because of sports and today Elina is a proud person, it doesn't matter if she feels more Greek or Albanian.

Xengo is the European record holder in terms of the age of a female champion. The 20-year-old broke the record set in 1962 by Elvira Ozolina, who was declared continental champion at the age of 23.
