The Greek duo, in their first participation in the Olympic Games, made a formidable counterattack in the last meters and even came close to the silver medal.
Fitsiou and Kontou eventually finished in third place and brought the fourth medal for Greece at Paris 2024 and the sixth for Greek rowing at the Olympic Games. In total, it is the 125th medal won by our country in the modern history of the world's leading sports event.
Greek rowing finished the program on Friday (2/8) with two bronze medals and three appearances in the final. Let us remind you that we are also waiting for the effort of Stefanos Duskus in the final of the single skiff, on Saturday (3/8), where he will seek to defend the title he won in Tokyo.
