Welcome to the Fam, Miltos!
Double olympic champ Miltiadis Tentoglou joins PUMAs track and field roster
July 17, 2025
We’re thrilled to welcome long jump superstar Miltiadis “Miltos” Tentoglou to the PUMA family. The two-time Olympic gold medalist, World Champion and six-time European Champion from Greece brings world-class talent – and his signature calm confidence – to our growing track & field roster.
At just 27, Miltos has already made history. Last year, he defended his Olympic title in Paris with a stunning 8.48m jump, becoming only the second man ever to win back-to-back Olympic golds in the long jump.
But that’s not all. He’s also a World Champion and a six-time European Champion, with a clean sweep of three consecutive outdoor titles (2018, 2022, 2024) and three indoor titles (2019–2023) – he has an unmatched record.
And his connection to PUMA runs deep:

“My first spikes, when I was young, were PUMA – they were bright green,” Miltos shared. “I think I set my first national record in them – 7.65m, U18. Great memories.”
“We’re incredibly proud to welcome Miltiadis to the PUMA family. Signing him is a great moment for PUMA as we keep growing our presence in athletics and establishing PUMA as a dominant. Watching his performance in Paris was a thrill, and we’re excited to support him both on and off the track as he continues to push boundaries and inspire a new generation of athletes,”
said Pascal Rolling, Director of Sports Marketing Running at PUMA.

Miltos brings calm confidence and laser focus to everything he does. He doesn’t seek the spotlight, but he always shows up when it counts. He joins a powerful roster of elite PUMA athletes helping to shape the future of performance sport. His unique mindset and experience make him a valuable partner as we continue to push the boundaries of performance innovation, developing cutting-edge products that empower our athletes to perform at their best.
My favorite moment so far? Jumping the World Lead (8.46m) last month with the PUMA Tokyo evoSPEED Future Jump spikes. And I’m looking forward to creating more of those moments,”
Miltos shares with us.
And later this fall, he sets his sights on Tokyo once again:
“I chose PUMA because I love the products – especially the variety of spikes to choose from. I also like the other top athletes on the team.
