After winning the European Championship last year in Thessaloniki, the women's deaf national team added another gold medal to their collection after beating Lithuania 67-50 in the final of the Deaflympics.
The match was quite tense until the end of the third period when the score was just 39-38 for Greece. At that point, however, the athletes of coach Zerva made the biggest push of the game and outscored the Lithuanian team 28-12 to win the historic match.
Stefania Patera starred for the Greek team scoring 20 points, with Alexandra Kotsiafti and Lamprini Agagiotou contributing 11 points each.
