Stamatina Skarvelis has been determined to qualify for her first shot and showed her first shot from her first shot and can claim the qualification in the final.

It was the only Greek presence on Sunday’s racing program (14.09.2025), in Tokyo’s event
“I was very happy to do that first shot. It was really a very nice feeling to get into the race and, you know, to see people with very big personal records null or not to run properly. And to get in and be so close to my own record and I had a good effort. so I have another chance.
I wasn’t so stressed before the third shot. It’s difficult, I can’t really describe it in words how I felt. I was surprised that I didn’t have a better order, so I don’t know if I just thought too much or I was very technical and I didn’t let myself be released. So now I’m not very sure about what exactly happened, but I don’t think I let myself attack and be athletic as I can.
I think this is the best season I have ever had, and I work with the new coach. In the past, I had a lot of changes and many disappointments. But this year I had someone who is very focused on what I need and what works for me, ”the athlete said at the end of the race.
And I think it’s obvious, there is no doubt, because I had the best season I have ever had: because I feel that I have a lot of support and a lot of concentration in what I need. And I think it’s no coincidence that I was so stable and I got a new individual record. So I’m excited to continue what I started.
