Synchronised swimming triplets Anna-Maria, Eirini, and Vasiliki Alexandri have unexpectedly stopped representing Austria in international competitions.

Synchronised swimmers Anna-Maria, Eirini, and Vasiliki Alexandri are no longer competing for Austria, marking a sudden end to their representation of the nation. The triplet athletes previously made headlines in 2012 when they left Greece to relocate to Austria. At the time, their departure prompted the Hellenic Swimming Federation to issue a lengthy nine-paragraph official statement addressing the unexpected loss of the three promising young swimmers. The underlying reasons behind the decision of the world-class athletes to cease swimming under the Austrian flag remain subject to discussion as details surrounding the split continue to emerge.
