Lawyer Qualifies For Olympics, Worries About Taking Time Off From Law Firm
He'll compete in the Rio Olympics on August 21. Congratulations!
When I asked if I could take three months off at the office, they were ready to support me. It was very important because it spared me the anxiety that I was letting them down.
— Greek lawyer Michalis Kalomiris, explaining what happened when he asked his law firm if he could take time off to train for the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio, Brazil. Kalomiris, who describes himself as an “amateur [marathoner] training at sub-elite level,” had no idea he’d qualified for the Olympics until he spotted his name on a list of athletes who’d been selected to compete for Greece in the Games. He will be running his first Olympic marathon on August 21.
