In Athens, Tentoglou began his outdoor season in 2021 with a massive personal best of 8.60m, an improvement that some doubted whether it was a valid performance.

Tentoglou came from a non-athletic background. As a young boy, he wanted to be a MotoGP rider, then a surfer, and finally a professional parkour performer. His first athletics event was the high jump. Tentoglou cleared a solid 1.80m in his first competition. But when he tried the long jump, it was a completely different scenario. According to him, in his first competition, he jumped 6.38 meters at the age of 15. When he progressed in the high jump, he recognized that event would exercise control considering his growth.
Tentoglou, who was 18 at the time, participated in the Rio Olympics in 2016 and leapt 8.19 meters. He improved his personal best by 8.30m the following year and eventually became the European U20 champion. Tentoglou claimed the European Senior Championship in 2018 and qualified for the global final in Doha in 2019. However, in a very competitive environment at the World Championships 2019, he struggled to find his best form and placed 10th with 7.79m. In the next edition of the World Championships which took place in Oregon, he jumped a whopping 8.32 m to finish second and win the silver medal at the competition.
