In 2020, Tania took the next major step in her athletic journey by entering para athletics. She transitioned from sprint events to throwing events from a throwing frame, beginning the process of adapting to new techniques, different equipment, and new competitive demands.
Her early competitions brought national recognition in the javelin throw, along with Greek national records. She also competed in the discus and shot put. The speed with which she adapted to her new competitive environment showed that this was more than just a return to sports—it was the beginning of a second athletic career.
Representing Elpida Thessaloniki, a sports club for athletes with disabilities, and the Greek National Team, she began building the career that, just a few years later, would take her to the world’s biggest sporting stages.
