"Today, Greece participates in a new marathon race. We will overcome all obstacles, we will win and at the end, we will say, "Victory," were the words of Prime Minister Antonis Samaras in his speech at the presentation of the cup. Historian Alexandros Kitroeff, who presented the events of 1896, did not fail to add the interesting detail that Spyros Louis was able to inspire his countrymen three years after the Prime Minister at that time Charilaos Trikoupis had declared the bankruptcy of Greece with the infamous phrase "Regretfully, we are bankrupt."
Spyros Louis Cup will be staying at the Acropolis Museum for a year. Meanwhile, Stavros Niarchos Foundation will be seeking to locate other suitable venues to expose the cup throughout the country. The tour will continue until the Foundation’s cultural centre in the seaside suburb Neo Faliro is built. Its construction will start next month, as announced by Andreas Drakopoulos. Spyros Louis Cup will end its race and will take its permanent place there.
