Greek table tennis player Panagiotis Gionis concluded his campaign at the European Championships in Ljubljana by reaching the round of 16. After winning his qualifying group and defeating Matteo Mutti, Gionis was eliminated by Sweden’s Anton Sälming in a 4-0 set loss.

Following the tournament, Gionis rose 27 places in the ITTF world rankings, moving from 197 to 170. This advancement was attributed to earning 45 points during the championships, his best single-tournament haul in the past year. Gionis indicated his focus has shifted toward accumulating points for the Los Angeles Olympics through upcoming tournaments in Germany and Poland.

While Gionis saw gains, other Greek international players experienced fluctuations in the rankings. Giannis Sgouropoulos rose four places to 260, while Giorgos Stamatouros and Katerina Toliou saw declines in their respective positions.
