A case against OAKA, for 538,000, was filed by Philippidis
He asks for injury to the facility assistant.
Kostas Filippidis filed a lawsuit against the OAKA administration requesting high compensation for his 40 days injuries in the closed auxiliary stage of the facility. The jump jumper struck badly when he fell into a trainer s puddle and had to undergo a knee surgery to restore a meniscus rupture.
Philippidis, as stated in the lawsuit filed, seeks compensation from OAKA for 538,000€, since the cost of his preparations so far is large (hotels, travels, coaches, etc.) and he did not succeed in participating in a number of international Races he had planned
His injury was on June 19, 2017, and as he mentions in his lawsuit, “the moment I was attempting during my training, the last step before the jump. Then, due to the tortuous imposture, the illegal and unlawful omission of the defendant, who is obliged to keep the tortoise of the only runway for the jump in a perfect condition to protect the athletes so that they can carry out their coaching without hindrance, In the piece of tartan that covered the puddle, which receded, resulting in my foot being found in the above puddle, 50 centimeters long, 3 centimeters deep and 15 centimeters wide. Due to the above defective and unlawful omission of the defendant, he suffered a rupture through a menstrual left knee.”
The world champion, on the other hand, makes further reference to the remedial actions in the tartan that did not work, while stressing that due to his injury, he lost, among other things, four big IAAF Diamond League matches in Paris, Lausanne, Rabat and Monaco .
