So proud of Anneta Kyridou :GRE

She dominated the women's single sculls. She has been through so much over the past five years and especially after the last two years. She never gave up though. Pausing her education to fully focus on training, her mother getting cancer, fainting at a training camp, filing a lawsuit against the federation, switching from W2X to LW2X to W1X within the past 20 months, and making it to the Olympics at just 22 years old in a difficult event.

 

She didn't get the chance to qualify at the 2019 World Championships because her partner in W2X got injured at the last moment, and then at the European Qualifying Regatta last month she fell into the water a few minutes before the race. This was basically her one chance to qualify and she did amazing.

 

Greece now being represented in Tokyo in the women's single sculls for the first time since 1996 I think.
