Greek President Katerina Sakellaropoulou praised on Monday the courage of Olympian Sophia Bekatorou for speaking out against sexual abuse in sport.
Sakellaropoulou said that her meeting with Bekatorou at the Presidential mansion in Athens was “a minimal recognition of the bravery and dignity with which she shared her traumatic experience.”
Last week, the veteran sailing champion opened the Pandora’s Box by detailing the assault she suffered, when she was at the peak of her career, at the hands of an important figure involved with the Hellenic Sailing Federation.
