Bio Bits

A two-time Olympian, Karadassiou started competing on the SWATCH-FIVB World Tour in 1997 and played 64 of her first 68 international events with Efi Sfyri.  Karadassiou and Sfyri placed 17th at the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games and ninth at the 2001 SWATCH-FIVB World Championships together at Klagenfurt, Austria.  The Karadassiou/Sfyri partnership ranks fifth all-time in career FIVB starts with the pair posting a 136-132 match mark together with $247,610 in earnings (20th).

 

Karadassiou and Vassilliki Arvaniti ranked as Europe’s top team on the 2005 SWATCH-FIVB World Tour as the pair finished fifth in points.  In addition, the pair captured the 54-country Confédération Européenne De Volleyball (CEV) continental championship in Moscow last August to clinch the 2005 European point’s title.  While Karadassiou was named the top women’s player for the 2005 season by the CEV, Arvaniti became the youngest woman (20 years, three months, 15 days) to win a SWATCH event.  She and Karadassiou upset top-ranked Juliana Felisberta Silva and Larissa Franca of Brazil in the finals of the Norway Grand Slam event last July in Stavanger.  Arvaniti and Karadassiou, who won two of four CEV events in 2005, combined for $166,500 in earnings.
