Greek medals surge at European Championships

Entities: Varese · Petros Gkaidatzis · European Rowing Championships · Petros Gaidatzis · Igor Khmar

Overview

At the European Rowing Championships in Varese, Italy, Greece recorded its strongest performance in more than a decade, winning five rowing medals. Petros Gkaidatzis secured gold in the men’s lightweight single scull with a time of 6:50.92, while women’s crews added two silvers and the men’s and women’s single sculls each earned a bronze. The success placed Greece fifth on the overall rowing medal table.

The same championships also marked a comeback for the Alexandri sisters—Anna Maria, Irini and Vasiliki—in artistic swimming. After a decade representing Austria, they returned to the Greek national team through the efforts of Hellenic Olympic Committee president Isidoros Koubelos and captured two gold medals. Their victories, alongside the rowing haul, underscore a broader resurgence of Greek sport on the European stage.
