The excitement was intense for Lefteris Petrounias, when he saw his eldest daughter excel in inorganic gymnastics.

Together with Vassiliki Millousi, they watched Sofia compete in the Hellenic Gymnastics Federation competitions, in the women’s category, where she won four medals.

The Olympian shared the moment via his post on social media, showing how important this first distinction was. In a video he posted, the little athlete performs drills on ground and balance beam with absolute stability and confidence.

The course is starting to be magical full of excitement! Congratulations to all the amazing team @gymnasticsstarssportsclub and our coach,” Lefteris Petrounias wrote in his post.
