Michael Kalomiris (born 9 October 1986) is a Greek long-distance runner and attorney who specializes in the marathon.[1][2]
Kalomiris qualified for the 2016 Olympics due to his top-ten finish of eighth in the 2015 Rome Marathon, an IAAF Gold Label Road Race.[2][3] This was despite the fact that his time in that race was 10.5 minutes below the Olympic qualifying standard;[4] not knowing about the Gold Label qualification method, Kalomiris was amazed to see his name on a list of Olympic athletes.[2] He took a three-month leave of absence from his job as a lawyer to train for the Olympic marathon.[5][6]
In the men's marathon event at the 2016 Summer Olympics he finished in 132nd place with a time of 2:37:03.[7][8]
