At her first ever World Cup in Athens Panagiota managed to win bronze with clubs, the first medal for an individual from Greece in the circuit.[2] She then went on to compete at more World Cups in Sofia and Pesaro where she confirmed her good shape by getting in event finals and barely missing out on the podium.[3]

Panagiota Lytra started her season in 2023 with the Grand Prix in Tartu where she finished 6th in the All Around competition and qualified for all the events finals.
