Shocking Polizo: “My father assaulted me when I was 11 years old. He used to tear my body apart” (video)

The endurance road champion was invited to ERT's “Studio 4” show, Maria Polizzo And what he admitted was truly shocking.

“I didn't feel guilty as a child, no, it was clear to me who was to blame. I think sport was the best thing that happened to me in my life, that is, it ended. It's incredible how sport came to me when I was 12 years old.” And from then on I started building my dreams on it. My whole life is a struggle. When I was 11 years old, my father was sexually assaulted, but at that moment I didn't want to talk to anyone. You will never talk at that moment, and no one will listen to you never.”

“I didn't think it could be my fault, it's not like that. You just think that life has no meaning. The first thing you think is that it's not worth living. We're talking about a 12- or 15-year-old child, so it's difficult for a child to manage his existence and be inside “Home. That's why I packed my bags and left home.”

“My dreams were incredible. (V) It is the dream of reaching the Olympic Games, of reaching my own medals and my own summit. I wanted to escape, to study because at that time it was very difficult in Patras to say you are going to university when I didn’t even finish primary school “With my dreams as a beacon, I advanced in life.” Reveal the hero.
