Results

Born Viktor Mitro, in Vlorë, Albania, he initially represented Albania internationally until 1993, and then Greece for three consecutive Olympiads (1996, 2000, and 2004). Notably he became an Olympic medalist for Greece during the 2000 Summer Olympics, when he claimed the silver medal in the men's – 77 kg class. In that competition Mitrou lost first place to Chinese Zhan Xugang, only because of his own heavier body weight.^[2]
