The Paris Olympics opening ceremony on Friday night will see more than 8,000 of the world’s top athletes - led by Greece - sail along the Seine River in a one of a kind spectacle. Aside from the excitement around the opening ceremony, where Greece and Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo will carry the Greek flag, there are also high expectations in Greece for all of its athletes. Nikos Efstathiou, an Athens based journalist and author of a best-selling biography on Olympic Champion Pyrros Dimas, joins Thanos Davelis to look at the buzz around the Olympics in Greece this summer, and break down whether Greek sport - which took a hit during the crisis - is bouncing back.
