Saturday, and one each in the finals of the men's pole vault and the women's triple jump.
Costas Baniotis and, surprisingly, Dimitris Hondrokoukis made the cut for Saturday's high-jump final clearing 2.27 metres, meaning out of the eight finalists the two will be Greek.
Costas Philippidis will predictably be in the pole vault final on Saturday after clearing 5.65 m., while Athanasia Perra became the sole Greek to advance in the women's triple jump with her best effort at 14.01 m.
Voula Papachristou (who measured 13.72 m.) and Niki Paneta (who did not compete at all) missed out.
Ambitious Louis Tsatoumas dropped out of the qualifier in long jump after measuring 7.81 m. in his second effort. He never made his third after a recurrence of his recent injury. Giorgos Tsakonas could only reach 7.35 m.
In the women's 800 meters Eleni Filandra missed out on the semifinals for three hundredths of a second, and Dimitris Tsiamis went no further than 16.30m. in the men's triple jump.
Saturday morning will see four more Greeks enter their events' qualifiers, with Nicole Kyriakopoulou in pole vault, Georgia Kokloni and Angelos Angelakis in 60 meters and Elena Kafourou in long jump.
