Personal life
Trikomiti is the third of five siblings, and her older sister Loukia (born 7 September 1990) also competed in rhythmic gymnastics and attempted to qualify for the 2008 Summer Olympics.[1] She graduated with a degree in law but is currently working as a head coach at the Andreas Trikomitis club.[2][3] In 2016, she was appointed the Cyprus Ambassador of Fair Play.[3]
Her mother, Evangelia Trikomiti, is an executive committee member at European Gymnastics and was banned from judging for four years in February 2025. She was sanctioned by the Gymnastics Ethics Foundation Disciplinary Commission for performing score manipulation to win Vera Tugolukova, who Chrystalleni Trikomiti coaches, the single Olympic quota available at the 2024 European Championships.[4]
Career
Trikomiti competed at the 2009 World Championships, where she placed 49th in the all-around,[5] and the 2010 World Championships, where she finished 28th.[6]
A month later, she competed at the 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi, India, where she won two gold medals, one silver medal, and two bronze medals. She narrowly missed the gold in the all-around performance when she dropped her ball. She had been tied with Naazmi Johnston from Australia with 75.425 points, but the drop cost her the gold, and she finished with the silver.[1]
At the 2011 World Championships, she placed 21st in the final.[7] She qualified to compete at the 2012 Summer Olympics by winning a quota at the 2012 Gymnastics Olympic Test Event held in January.[8] At the Olympics, she finished 19th in qualifications and did not advance to the final.[9]
As a coach, her trainees have included Anna Sokolova, Diamanto Evripidou, and Vera Tugolukova.[10][11][12]
