A real Greek with an original Berlin spirit. You can hear right away that Zacharias<br />
Panagiotidis has spent 27 years of his life in Berlin. “Ick bin in Tempelhof uffjewachsen.”<br />
He cannot hide his Berlin dialect. He now lives in Katerini in northern<br />
Greece. One half of his life here, the other there—that was his plan. “At some point<br />
I crossed over,” says Zacharias. He started running four years ago. “Today was my<br />
first marathon in Berlin”. He has already planned the next one: He wants to run<br />
the Olympic Marathon in his home country.<br />
