The problem (in Med Blue's humble opinion) could lie in the fact that the model the Greeks are using is the Barcelona Olympics of 1992, which were a great success. They probably think that if Spaniards could do it, so can they. Wrong. The Barcelona Olympics were held by Catalans, who have a completely different mindset.
