Career

[edit]

Lytra became a senior gymnast in 2022. At Miss Valentine in Tartu, she won gold with clubs, silver with ball and bronze with ribbon.[1]

At her first ever World Cup in Athens, Lytra won bronze with clubs, which was the first medal for an individual from Greece on the World Cup circuit.[2] She then went on to compete at the World Cups in Sofia, where she was .100 points away from the podium in the clubs final, and in Pesaro, where she made the hoop final.[3][4]

She was therefore selected to compete to the 2022 European Championships in Tel Aviv, Israel. She qualified in 10th place for the all-around final, where she finished 16th with 121.150 points.[5] Lytra also made it to the clubs final, finishing in 7th with a score of 31.25.[6] This was the best ever ranking for an individual Greek rhythmic gymnast in this apparatus at the European Championships.[7]

Lytra started her season in 2023 with the Grand Prix in Tartu, where she finished 6th in the all-around competition and qualified for all the event finals. Later in the year, she took part in the World Cup in Sofia. She placed 11th in the all-around and was 9th with hoop and ball; she qualified for the clubs final, where she was 7th. After that, she went to the Baku World Cup, where she finished 14th in the all-around. She also attended the World Challenge Cup in Cluj-Napoca, placing 10th in the all-around and qualifying for the hoop and ball finals. After this competition, she went straight to Italy to compete in the World Cup in Milan, where she placed 14th in the all-around and qualified for the clubs final.

Lytra was once again selected for the European Championships. She qualified in 10th place for the all-around final and finished the final in 11th place, and she also qualified for the clubs final. At the 2023 World Championships, she finished in 22nd place in the individual all-around qualifications and did not advance into the all-around final, thus missing a chance to secure an Olympic spot for Greece. However, she qualified to the ball final and placed 8th. She was the first Greek rhythmic gymnast after Varvara Filiou to qualify for an event final at the World Championships.

In 2024, she competed at the Sofia World Cup, where she finished 11th in the all-around and did not advance into any apparatus finals. Her best result was with clubs (10th place).[8]
