In When You Look from Above, author and athlete Nikos Michalopoulos captures the high-flying, deeply human story of pole vaulter Emmanouil "Manolo" Karalis. What begins as a sports biography soars into something greater—a tale of resilience, identity, and quiet defiance. From childhood struggles with bullying to rising as a global athletic force, Karalis’s journey isn’t just about clearing bars on the track—it’s about raising the bar on what it means to be seen, heard, and truly yourself. This isn’t just a story for sports fans; it’s a story for humans.
