My favourite athlete is Costas Douvalidis

My favourite athlete is Costas Douvalidis. He was born in my town Drama, Greece. He grew up with his mother because his father lives in America. His father didn’t know he had a son, but when he saw his name in the Canada races , he phoned Costas mother and she confirmed that Costas was his son. His father told her that he would go and meet Costas. Costas was excited. When the day of the races came, Costas was waiting for his father to come but he didn’t run because he was crying. After some time he would take part in another race. When he was ready ti start the race , he saw someone coming down the stairs. He realized it was his father. After the race he fell into his fathers arms. His father offered to take Costas to the USA with him to be a better athlete but he refused . He wanted to stay with his mother in Greece .
