Fifteen-year-old rhythmic gymnast Emmanouela Frokou, continues to impress with her impeccable performances.
The wonder-girl of gymnastics participated in the Junior International Australian National Championship 2022 that took place on the Gold Coast winning three gold medals.
“She made us very proud, once again,” her mother Athanasia (Nancy) Delinicolis told Neos Kosmos.
More specifically, the young athlete won the gold medal in Ball, the gold medal in Ribbon as well as the gold medal in the Team NSW category.
Emmanuella arrived in Australia with her parents and siblings in July 2016 and is already making us proud with her incredible performances not just in Australia but worldwide.
Within the first year of the Frokou family’s migration to Australia, Emmanouela managed to win first place at the Australian National Rhythmic Gymnastics Championships (2017), before climbing the ranks to become NSW State Champion in 2019. Not one to rest on her laurels, she is preparing to represent Australia at the Youth Olympic Games that will be held in 2022 in Dakar.
Emmanuela’s story, however, began from hardship. Her family migrated to Australia as a result of the financial crisis that started in Greece in late 2009.
“We didn’t want to leave (Greece), but after losing our business, our options were limited,” Mrs Delinicolis had told Neos Kosmos’ Theodora Maios in a previous interview.
“I was already an Australian citizen due to my parents having migrated to Australia in the 1960’s, therefore we decided to give Australia a go.”
