Anna Korakaki

Anna Korakaki addressed the issue that arose with her eyes:
“After giving my mind and body the time they needed, and now with a clearer head and a sense of calm, I can reflect on this year, whose biggest goal was, of course, the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. At 28, I had the blessing and honor of representing my country in the Olympics for the third consecutive time.”

Anna Korakaki had hoped for a better showing in the 10m air pistol event at the Paris Olympics.

The Greek champion started with 90 accurate shots and then scored 93 and 94 in the subsequent rounds. However, she did not complete her attempts in the fourth round and skipped the next two rounds.
