'It's a great honor for me. I am thrilled, and I think the feelings will get even more intense in Ancient Olympia,' Korakaki said.
Korakaki won a gold medal for the 25 meter pistol event at the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in 2016. Since then, the 23-year-old has added to her success by winning the 2018 World Championships for 10 meter air pistol and taking home the gold medal for 25 meter pistol at the 2019 European Games.
"The truth is that I have won all titles that you can win in shooting, and in sport in general—even the [10m air pistol] World Record which was my dream," the 23-year-old told Olympic Channel."Now I just hope that I'll stay on that level and get the titles again, and again, and again. I hope to stay at the top level for another 10 to 15 years."
Gold medalist Anna Korakaki of Greece smiles on the podium during the medal ceremony for the Women's 25 meter pistol event on Day 4 of the Rio 2016 Olympic Games at the Olympic Shooting Centre on August 9, 2016 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil."It is a historic moment, as for the first time in history a female athlete will be the first torchbearer.
