(CNN) -- When Athens was behind schedule in delivering the 2004 Olympic Games, the Greek government called Gianna Angelopoulos to take charge. Angelopoulos had already successfully led the bid committee that saw Athens awarded the 2004 Olympic Games. When she received the appointment in 2000 to become president of the organizing committee, she had just four years instead of the usual seven, to deliver a successful Games. She was the first female president of both a bid committee and an organizing committee for an Olympic Games "We were the miracle, we showed a different Greece, a can-do Greece in four years instead of seven," she says.
