Tampasi qualified for the Greek squad in the women's half-middleweight class (63 kg) at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, by filling up an entry by the International Judo Federation and the Hellenic Olympic Committee, as Greece received an automatic berth for being the host nation.[2][3] She lost her opening match to Belgium's Gella Vandecaveye, who successfully scored an ippon and gripped her on the tatami with a kuzure kami shiho gatame (broken upper four-quarter hold-down) assault at three minutes and twenty-two seconds.[4][5][6]
