Eirini Karastergiou (Ειρήνη Καραστεργίου; born November 20, 1982) is a Greek former swimmer, who specialized in backstroke events.[1] She previously held two Greek records in both 100 and 200 m backstroke, until they were all broken each by Aspasia Petradaki and Stella Boumi in 2009.[2]

Karastergiou qualified for two swimming events at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, representing the host nation Greece. She cleared FINA B-standard entry times of 1:03.26 (100 m backstroke) and 2:14.82 (200 m backstroke) from the Greek Open in Piraeus.[3] [4] In the 100 m backstroke, Karastergiou challenged seven other swimmers in heat three, including top medal favorite Kirsty Coventry of Zimbabwe. She edged out Finland's Hanna-Maria Seppälä to take a seventh spot and thirty-third overall by a quarter of a second (0.25) in 1:05.30.[5] [6] In the 200 m backstroke, Karastergiou placed thirtieth in the morning prelims. Swimming in heat two, she rounded out a field of eight swimmers to last place by less than 0.18 of a second behind Thailand's Chonlathorn Vorathamrong in 2:21.93.[7] [8]
