Whakaotihia te rerenga e whai ake nei: I timata a Bitsakis i tana whakataetae tuatahi i te 2000 Summer Olympics i Sydney. Kāore ia i eke ki te 16 o runga i te
100 m freestyle, ka mutu i roto i te toru tekau ma wha o nga waahi i whakaritea ki a Sergey Ashihmin o Kyrgyzstan i te 51.28. I whakanohoia ano e ia te tekau ma rima, me Athanasios Oikonomou, Spyridon Gianniotis, me Dimitrios Manganas, i te 4 × 200 m relay freestyle (7:35.77).
