The Gelasakis Group of Companies supports the Greek skeet shooting athlete, Emmanouela Katzouraki

The Chania-based skeet shooting athlete, Emmanouela Katzouraki, is sponsored by the Gelasakis Group of Companies. This sponsorship will enable her to compete in a number of upcoming international sporting events, including the 2024 Olympic Games, held in Paris.

Emmanouela Katzouraki started competing in skeet shooting at the age of 15. In 2015, 2016, 2018 and 2020 she was awarded with the Gold medal at the Greek Championship. In 2021, she was fourth at the World Cup in Croatia, and won the Bronze medal in the mixed team at the World Youth Championship, in Peru.

The following year, in 2022, she received the fourth place at the World Cup in Baku. In 2023, she was second at the World Cup in Morocco and third in the mixed team. She was second at the European Championship in Poland, and with the bronze medal she won at the World Cup in Baku, Azerbaijan, she secured the qualification for the 2024 Olympic Games, in Paris.

In addition to her Olympic ticket, Emmanuela continues to set high standards for herself and, with the assistance of her coach, Georgios Salavantakis, and the Gelasakis Group of Companies, she aims to have a successful career in sports.

Mrs. Evi Tzagkaraki-Gelasaki, Public Relations Manager of the Gelasakis Group of Companies, stressed the following in light of the athlete's sponsorship: "Within our Group's Social Responsibility, sports is one of the three primary pillars. We support Emmanouela Katzouraki's sporting career because it provides daily reinforcement of good sportsmanship and highlights role models who motivate the younger generation to follow in their footsteps of fair play and continuous effort. We view environmental consciousness, sports, culture, and education as a triple core that, when paired with continued efforts to create jobs and other economic advantages for the community, communicates the need for sustainable growth. We are especially happy to see that the Gelasakis Group of Companies has placed a stone for an athlete who will not only represent Greece in the greatest athletic event, the Olympic Games, but also raises social awareness, puts great effort in her studies, and excels in her sport."

It should be noted that the sponsorship extends beyond the Olympic Games to include the 2024–2025 competition year.
