Overview

On 30 July 2026 PAS Giannina dominated the Greek National Technical Swimming Championships at Lake Pamvotida, winning 22 medals and leading the points table as Greece prepared for the World Technical Swimming Championships in Egypt.

The Alexandri sisters, Anna‑Maria and Eirini, returned to the Greek national team after a 14‑year hiatus (during which they had competed for Austria) and captured Greece’s first technical‑duet gold and a second gold in the free duet at the 38th European Aquatics Championships in Paris, scoring 311.4308 and 316.3315 points respectively. Their victories, approved by World Aquatics earlier in the year, brought Greece’s total European artistic‑swimming golds to 15 and underscored the nation’s growing prominence. The medals were dedicated to family, coaches and the Greek public, with the anthem playing after each win.

A day later the sisters added the free‑duet title, edging strong rivals from Spain, neutral‑competing Russia and Great Britain.

On 1 August, younger sister Basilikí Alexandri entered the solo free preliminaries, further highlighting the family’s impact on Greece’s rising profile in continental aquatic competition.
