Headline: Greek Climbing Athlete Builds Climbing Wall In His House To Train During Lockdown

Caption: Greek climbing athlete and medical student Manthos Valsamidis trains at a climbing wall in the living room of his house in Thessaloniki, Greece. What happens when an athlete addicted to climbing rocks is forced by the COVID-19 lockdown to remain indoors? The answer came easy to 21-year-old Greek climbing athlete and medical student Manthos Valsamidis: he built a climbing wall in his living room to stay in shape. Greece entered a second full nationwide lockdown on Nov. 7, which is scheduled to last until Nov. 30 as part of efforts to curb the spread of coronavirus.
