The Karditsa athlete met in Melbourne with the sportswriter of The Greek Herald, Bill Roumeliotis, and sent her well wishes for the Christmas and New Year holidays.

“Merry Christmas, with health, love and joy for the whole world!! I wish you in 2024 to realise your wishes, to have health, love, happiness and success in everything you do!” she said.
