VIKOS natural mineral water, staying true to its core values of contribution and equality in sports, proudly supports Paralympic champion Elena Papastamatopoulou on her path to the 2028 Paralympic Games.

This partnership further strengthens VIKOS natural mineral water’s longstanding commitment to supporting athletes who push beyond their limits, proving through their example that the power of will can overcome any obstacle. The VIKOS family of supported athletes now includes six athletes, four of whom are Paralympians—reflecting the brand’s holistic strategy for an inclusive approach to both sports and society.

At just 22 years old, Elena Papastamatopoulou, originally from Ioannina and currently a medical student at the University of Ioannina, is a living example of mental resilience and dedication. She has been actively involved in taekwondo since the age of 10. In March 2024, through her participation in the qualifying events in Sofia, Bulgaria, she secured Greece’s first-ever qualification in Para Taekwondo for the Paralympic Games—a historic milestone for the country. Shortly after, she won second place at the European Championships and third place at the World Open Championships in Korea, before earning the Bronze Medal at the Paris Paralympic Games, making Greece proud. Her next major goal is to compete at the 2028 Paralympic Games in Los Angeles and to pursue another medal for Greece.

Recognizing the power of will and belief in human potential, VIKOS natural mineral water continues to actively support athletes who inspire through their ethos, effort, and achievements. Through this ongoing commitment, the VIKOS brand promotes the values of unity, equal opportunity, and social progress—reinforcing its deep belief that sports are a force for positive change for all.
