Career
At the 2004 Summer Olympics semifinal she set a Greek record of 15.32 metres. The same story was repeated at the 2008 IAAF World Indoor Championships in Valencia, in which "Piyi" lost the 1st place at the sixth jump by Yargelis Savigne. Devetzi was known for often jumping longer in qualification rounds than in finals, as at the 2004 Olympics, and also for her lack of gold so far at major championships, despite being one of the world"s leading female triple jumpers.
In May 2009 Devetzi refused to submit to doping control.
Failing to submit sample equals a positive test, and she was subsequently handed a two-year doping ban. (*) Third among Greek long jumpers, behind Niki Xanthou (703) and Paraskevi Tsiamita (693).
