Magdanis's first international competition was the 2008 Junior World Championships, where he competed in the men's single scull.[1] He then teamed up with Konsolas to win the gold medal at the 2010 Under-23 World Championships in the men's lightweight double scull.[1] He won silver the next year, in the U23 individual scull.[4]

He and Konsolas won their first senior international medal at the 2011 European Championships, in the lightweight double sculls.[5] Magdanis and Konsolas joined Nikolaos Afentoulus and Georgios Konsolas in the Greek lightweight quadruple sculls team that won silver at the 2012 World Championships.[6] That year, as well as competing in the Olympic men's lightweight double sculls with Eleftherios Konsolas, he won the European title in the lightweight double sculls with Spyridon Giannaros.[7]

Magdanis, Eleftherious Konsolas, Georgios Konsolas and Giannaros won the men's lightweight quadruple sculls at the 2013 World Championships, and then retained their title at the 2014 World Championships.[8][9] The team also won bronze at the 2016 World Championships,[10] and then the team of Magdanis, Eleftherious Konsolas, Giannaros and Ninos Nikolaidis won bronze at the 2017 World Championships.[11]

gollark: No need to *help* them.
gollark: Maybe? I'll try and find a relevant article or something.
gollark: Er, my point is that there are bad things they can do with it which don't necessarily involve selling it to other companies.
gollark: Google also had that whole thing with tracking locations even when that was disabled.
