Greece's national rowing team heads to Amsterdam for World Championships

The Greek national rowing team has arrived in Amsterdam, Netherlands, to prepare for the World Championships. The event, scheduled from August 24 to 30, will feature 12 Greek athletes competing in six boat classes.

Significant attention is focused on Stefanos Ntouskos, the reigning Olympic champion. He will attempt to defend the world title he won in 2025 in China. Ntouskos is coming off a bronze medal performance at the recent European Championships, signaling his strong form.

Other Greek crews are also carrying high hopes. Milena Kontou and Evangelia Anastasiadou are strong contenders in the women's double sculls, having secured a silver medal at the European Championships. Their performance is anticipated with optimism.

The Greek delegation includes Ntouskos in the single sculls, Antonis Papakonstantinou and Andreas Bourkas in the pair, Petros Gkaitatzis in the lightweight single sculls, Anastasiadou and Kontou in the lightweight double sculls, and a women's quadruple sculls crew of Christina Bourmpou, Zoe Fitsiou, Valia Lykomitrou, and Eleni Diabati. Also competing in the lightweight double sculls are Gabriela Lioliou and Paschalina Mouratidou.
