Greek Olympic officials say that while Ancient Olympia lacks the facilities large enough to host the event, they still hope to include the ancient site in the four-day meetings

Regional governor Nektarios Farmakis expressed disappointment, calling it “a missed opportunity for something significant.” The town’s mayor and other local officials also publicly voiced their disappointment on Tuesday and Wednesday regarding the venue decision.
