Katerina Stefanidi: The Joy of Expecting Her First Child – ‘Happier Than Any Medal’

In a sea of happiness, Katerina Stefanidi and her partner, Mitchell Kreher, eagerly await the arrival of their first child. The father of the 35-year-old Olympic champion, George Stefanidis, spoke to Real News about this joyous occasion, revealing when the new family member is due. According to him, the gold medalist from Rio is currently in her fifth month of pregnancy and will meet her baby for the first time in July. “Our happiness is indescribable. Our joy is equal to and even greater than an Olympic medal,” said George Stefanidis. They are planning to travel to the U.S. in June to be close to Katerina during this special time. In early March, Stefanidi shared a post on Instagram featuring two pairs of athletic shoes—one adult size and one tiny infant size. She captioned the post, “A new player enters the game in 2025 and decided to give us a very unexpected surprise,” confirming with emojis that it’s a boy.
