Her Olympic distinctions include: she was the first Greek woman in her maiden appearance at an Olympics (then aged 20 years) to be a multi-Olympic medalist for Greece at the same Olympiad, a fete last achieved by a Greek Olympic athlete at the 1912 Summer Olympics with Konstantinos Tsiklitiras.[2] In the 25m fire pistol event, Korakaki of Greece and Monika Karsch of Germany would vie for Gold medalist, each holding a tie or the lead with each succeeding round, and Korakaki would defeat Karsch after [3] She won three rounds thus getting a lead of 6–0, then the Germany rival won the next three rounds and thus bringing it to a 6–6 tie. In the last round, Germany missed 1st and 3rd shots of the 5 shots, and Korakaki had missed her 4th shot, but she hit her 5th shot and won 8–6, taking the gold and avoiding a tie.[4]
