Sofia Bekatorou, born in 1977, is a Greek sailor who won Olympic gold in the 470 class at the 2004 Games with Emilia Tsoulfa, and bronze in the Yngling keelboat class at the 2008 Games after recovering from a serious back injury. At the 2016 Games in Rio de Janeiro she was Greece's first female flag bearer, competing in the Nacra 17 with Mike Pateniotis and finishing 18th in her fourth Olympics. She started the Greek #MeToo movement, known as #MeTinSofia, by describing sexual harassment by a senior Hellenic Sailing Federation official, which led to resignations in the federation, and she stood in the 2024 European Parliament elections for SYRIZA.
