Angeliki Exarchou (Greek: Αγγελική Εξάρχου; born August 19, 1985 in Trikala) is a Greek swimmer, who specialized in breaststroke events.[1] She collected a silver medal, and dipped under a 1:10 barrier in the 100 m breaststroke at the 2009 Mediterranean Games in Pescara, Italy, in a Greek record of 1:08.99.[2]
Exarchou qualified for two swimming events at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, by clearing FINA B-standard entry times of 1:09.35 (100 m breaststroke) and 2:30.05 (200 m breaststroke) from the Universiade in Bangkok, Thailand.[3][4] In the 100 m breaststroke, Exarchou challenged seven other swimmers on the fourth heat, including Universiade titleholder Jung Seul-Ki of South Korea, and two-time Olympians Inna Kapishina of Belarus and Diana Gomes of Portugal. She raced to sixth place and thirtieth by two hundredths of a second (0.02) behind Turkey's Dilara Buse Günaydın in 1:10.47.[5] In her second event, 200 m breaststroke, Exarchou rounded out the third heat to last place by more than 2 seconds behind Argentina's Agustina de Giovanni in 2:36.83. Exarchou failed to advance into the semifinals, as she placed thirty-ninth overall in the preliminary heats.[6]
