In detail, the interview of Michalis Sheitis in RES-EIA:
Q: Is it a special moment for you to be rewarded by sports editors as the top handicapped athlete of the year?

Q: You have learned to star in the tartan. Your presence with a costume at the feast of Greek sports makes you feel weird?

Q: 2017 is over. What is it that left you engraved since the year you left?

Q: You are an example to be imitated. Four years ago you had the accident, but you raised your head and got up. What message would you like to send to new children?
"As I found the medicine to get on with the difficulty I had, look for them to find what is what makes them happy and turn a page. Go ahead. It makes me happy that I can and I run and I am happy to be able to do it yet. "
