Emmanouela Frokou, arrived in Australia three and half years ago from Greece. Prior to her arrival she was third in the Panhellenic Championships, in her category.


Soon as she touched down in the Australia, she was enrolled in a gym and very soon her talent shined. She won a number of tournaments in Australia and now represents the country in international events.
