Dionysios Georgakopoulos (Greek: Διονύσιος Γεωργακόπουλος; born 16 April 1963 in Athens) is a Greek sport shooter.[2] He has been selected to compete for Greece in two editions of the Olympic Games (2000 and 2004), and has won a total of two medals, a gold and a silver, in pistol shooting at a major international competition, spanning the 2001 and 2003 ISSF World Cup series.[1] Georgakopoulos is also a member of the shooting team at Ethnikos Gymnastikos Syllogos (English: Ethnikos Sports Gym) in his native Athens.[1]
Georgakopoulos' Olympic debut came as a 37-year-old at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, where he finished seventeenth in the air pistol, and sixteenth in the free pistol, producing aggregate scores of 576 and 557 respectively.[3][4][5]
At the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Georgakopoulos was named as part of the host nation's shooting team on his second consecutive Games, competing in both air and free pistol.[6] Although Greece had reserved a place in air pistol shooting, he got a minimum qualifying score of 556 to fill in the quota from his runner-up finish at the 2003 ISSF World Cup meet in Changwon, South Korea.[1][7][8] In his first event, the 10 m air pistol, Georgakopoulos fired a score of 572 to force a three-way tie with Spain's José Antonio Colado and Namibia's Friedhelm Sack for a distant thirty-third position, just four points away from his 2000 Olympic feat.[9] Three days later, in the 50 m pistol, Georgakopoulos shot a lowly 549 in the prelims to notch a twenty-eighth place draw with Thailand's Jakkrit Panichpatikum, ruling out of his contention for an Olympic final in front of the home crowd.[10]
