General Interest

General
CREWMATE
She began sailing in the 470 class with Emilia Tsoulfa in November 2019. Tsoulfa will be age 48 at Tokyo 2020 and is seeking her second Olympic gold medal in the 470 class, having won her first at the 2004 Games in Athens with Sofia Bekatorou when Spanaki was only three years old. "Both of them [Tsoulfa and Bekatorou] were my role models in sailing and when my coach told me that I would be with Emilia on the boat, I was very excited! It really is the best thing that could have happened to me. As a younger person, I am more explosive, but there are a lot of decisions that require experience. Our 'package' has it all. She could be my mother by age," Spanaki said. (istioploia.sports3.gr, 13 Mar 2021)

FUTURE PLANS
She has studied for a degree in naval architecture and marine engineering at the National Technical University of Athens, Greece. "I cannot think of doing something away from the sea. I want to deal with the design of ships." (Instagram profile, 24 Apr 2021; istioploia.sports3.gr, 13 Mar 2021)
