Greeks Gone West is a series of video vignettes the US Embassy in Athens made about the world of work in the US. These videos aim to improve the understanding of US society through the prism of Greeks and Greek-Americans with interesting work lives while also showing possibilities during a time, in Greece, when life seems full of limitations and frustrations.

Today’s video features springboard diver Christina Loukas. She came fourth at the 2008 FINA Swimming World Cup, ninth at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing and eighth at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London.
