Two members of the team that jumped the standard Tatiana Gusin (WHJ) and Paraskevi Papachristou (WTJ) withdraw their participation due to injuries.
Rafaela Spanoudaki (W200m) received from the beginning of the procedure on an invitation.
Beside Chryssa Anagnostopoulou (wDT) also Elisavet Pesiridou (w100m.h.) received a last minute invitation which was not accepted.
Maria Belimbasaki (womens 400m) would normally receive invitation but ended earlier season due to injury problem.
Very close in top performance lists were Eleni Polak (womens PV) and Konstantinos Baniotis (mens HJ).
Elina Tzengko (womens JT) was in top list but as a U18 had no right to take part – IAAF had sent by mistake an invitation too.
