Μake us preferred on Google The countdown to Christmas is on, and former gymnastics champion Vasiliki Millousi is already in the holiday spirit. She has brought the magic of the season into the home she shares with her husband, Lefteris Petrounias, and their two daughters, Sofia and Lenia.
On her personal Instagram account, Millousi posted a video of the decorating, giving her followers a glimpse of the result. As she revealed, “Operation Christmas Tree” was not a job finished in a few hours. It took a good deal of patience and hard work.

For Millousi and Petrounias, family has always been central to everyday life. Both athletes know the demands of elite sport firsthand, yet they work to keep a clear balance between their professional commitments and the time they spend with their daughters.
Speaking last April at a conference on sport and mental resilience, Millousi described how the couple treats their home as a place to disconnect from the pressures of training.
“Competitive sport is part of our lives, but we try not to bring any of it into our home, and not to talk about training,” she said. “I often stop Lefteris, although we do share things with each other. Home is a place for rest, for play and for the family to come together.”
Decorating for Christmas became one more chance to create happy family memories. It may have taken three days to finish, but judging by Millousi’s post, the joy of the process and the final result were worth every minute.
For the couple, the most meaningful moments don’t have to involve medals or sporting achievements. Sometimes the greatest success is a glowing Christmas tree and time spent with the people you love.
