she's gorgeous
Craig Austin I was just going to comment on how beautiful she was!
Jillian M Gauthier what do you mean? green eyes are beautiful! ps i have blue eyes
Jillian M Gauthier Green is the rarest eye color in the world. So pretty much everybody likes green eyes because it's not something you see every day. My father also has green eyes.
Craig Austin we are all beautiful in greece
εεετσι-)
I only clicked because I thought you weren't meant to let the flame go out... awkward
WHAATEVEN me too 😅
WHAATEVEN literally same hahaa
WHAATEVEN omg same lmao
me too
WHAATEVEN lol me too
Ever since the closing ceremony of Sydney 2000, I have been unable to watch the extinguishing of the Olympic flame live because I feel that a brilliant light has gone out, but in 2004 that intense sadness was very much tempered by the theme of the flame not dying but being passed along to each and every one of us and the performance mentioned here was the best example of that. It would be nice if that began a regular feature of the closing ceremony.

stfu loser everything u said had nothing to do with that video
I still can't watch Londons flame being extinguished
Greeks are naturally beautiful
Moshi Manju That's very kind. Thank you!
greek hearts are beautiful
Thank you
Moshi Manju thank you 😊
Moshi Manju thank you
Holy cow, I remember watching the closing ceremony. I was 13, knowing that I was going to almost graduate high school when Beijing 2008 came around...and thinking it would be such a long wait...
Silver Yote I was also 13 during that year, and going into 8th grade. I remember watching the closing ceremony for that, and I remember it being so silent after we watched it. It felt so surreal, and so beautiful. I can't believe it's been so long since.
Your 30 now?
Same here
Her last name is longer than my future
Alex Rider same😂
Alex Rider all the names in Greece are like that ♡♡♡♡
Alex Rider im Greek my last name is longer.
I'm also Greek but my last name is really short (7 letters).
I am greek and im crying rn 😂😂👌👌
Her name truly fits her. May she get her wish and be that light to the world. ❤️
Oh my gosh she's SO GORGEOUS
I wanted to adopt her. This is so wonderful that they checked back on her. God bless!!
A very classic Greek beauty!
who can forget this moment...i was only 9 yo back then and i'm still proud of our olympic ceremony (opening and closing)
What a beautiful person, I’ve been to Greece and the people are so kind and friendly. Their Dionysian culture is truly fun and a dichotomy from the Capitalist nature of Metropolitan areas.
I wonder what she feels when she plays 2 truths and a lie
Matt8734 what does that mean?
2 truths and a lie is when someone says 2 things about themselves that's true and one thing that's not true and the other people have to guess which ones are true or not. When she plays she can say she blew out the Olympic candle and people will probably think that's false.
kansas923 I don't understand what you guys mean..Lol..Can you explain please.
Matt
I'm from Greece! 🇬🇷
My mum is from Russia so I'm half russian! 🇷🇺

She's so beautiful. Unbelievable.
I was 13 when this happened and I also remember the setting i was in when I watched the ceremony and was mesmerized by the whole thing
She's so beautiful!
she's very beautiful and seems very kind
External beauty when it gets added with the inner beauty, that where the true essence of beauty reflects out..
She looks like the daughter of Aphrodite.
IKR I BET YOU 5 BUCKS SHE IS
Yo fr!! But I think she was prettier younger
I’m Greek and she makes me proud

She's such an inspiration

Fotini means light or fire, if I am not mistaken. Such a well-fitting name.
Fotini means "bright", it's an adjective. :)
All meanings of the name work for me. 😃
Fotini means “a person that radiates light/shines bright”
Δεν υπήρξαν ωραιότεροι αγώνες από αυτούς της Αθήνας
mike520 χαίρετε
"There were no better matches than those of Athens." For anybody else wondering what that meant.
Khatz Mikhael έχεις απόλυτο δίκιο
@@AlishaNic Games, not matches.
I love her last name very simple and easy to remember and pronounce! (Sarcasm)
can't stop looking at her eyes 😍
She actually looked pretty adorable as a child.
She is beautiful
i remember her n Gosh,,,she is very beautiful.
She is REALLY pretty
She was an orphan? She looks like she's grown up well.
On the dark side: she became part of the historic event that would contribute significantly to Greece's economic downturn.
I hope Greece would rise to greatness in the modern context.
Such a bullshit stereotypical thing to say in such a spirit lifting video. For the record, the cost of the Olympics was circa 10 billion USD, roughly equal to the immediate financial benefit to the country and a tiny fraction compared to the long term benefit. In contrast, Greece's debt is more like 400 billion USD. Greece spends the cost of multiple Olympics every year in dubious pensions and salaries. So please, shut the f** up.
Thanks for sharing this video...
this is so cool, and she’s so pretty
Who alse ia from greece and love the olymbics 😊💙💙
Πανεμορφη και πολυ καλο παιδι❤️
is she a model cause she's beautiful!
At first I thought the video meant that she accidentally blew out the fire
She is so gorgeous its not even fair
Ελλάδα forever✌
im greek..she is beatifullllll😍
She's beautiful!!!
Great !!! Bravo à elle !!!!
The most luckyest persons in the world...
Does she speak Greek, French, Italian and English?
Chris Amon my dad speaks all those except Greek, he also speaks Swedish and German
Chris Amon Greek talent...
Chris Amon easy I'm 15 I speak 4 languages and going to learn english
In Greece we all learn english and german or french (typically, it depends on how interested you are to learn these two) and we had the oprion to choose to learn italian at school as well. So it's not really that much of a surprise, there's quite a few people who know 2, 3, 4 or even more foreign languages while they are still very young.
Chris Amon yeah people in Greece tend to learn a lot of languages like myself. I can speak English fluently and I am learning 3 other languages ^^
I’m Greek for life 🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷
The Olympics started in Greece, therefore this makes sense
shes beautiful as a child man i wish i had green eyes
The Athens flame my favourite
What a beautiful name
She actually did it
Genial genial genial bendiciones
she so pretty
she is so pretty, but that last name though
What is wrong with the last name?
It's not as weird as you think for greek people
;_; hello ;_; I am Greek ... I don't think It is weird ...
I'm Greek too and that's what I meant.
;_; hello ;_; αααα εντάξει τότε. νόμιζα ότι ησουν Ξένος και έλεγες ότι είναι περίεργο
great idea for an ongoing series i.e. people from prominent moments
Is no one gunna talk about her last name
Not that long for a Greek name actually!
I see ya there! Kpoppers everywhere :D
fluffy hammy it's normal.. nvm I forgot ur probably not Greek ok bye
fluffy hammy I'm Greek, and her last name is totally normal.
Normal my mothers maiden name is pytharoulas
interesante pero tambien me gustaria saber como esta ahora el niño que flameo la bandera de Grecia en el barco de papel en la ceremoniade apertura
*says her own name multiple times in the video *
English guy: Fo*TI*ni
she’s so pretty
I thought at first the title meant that it took her 12 years to blow out the flame.... Ohhhhhhhh
She's now a medicine and after medicine, she will be a doctor for the Olympics athletes.
beauty with brain
FOTINI PAPALEONIDOPOULOU !
True that the olympics is some inspirational shii.
Beautiful people really do live charmed lives.
I only clicked on this because I thought the flame wasn't supposed to be blown out😂
