Frai made her Olympic debut in
At the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, Frai qualified for her second Greek team, as a 32-year-old, in the inaugural women's RS:X class.[6] Building up to her Olympic selection, she finished twenty-first in the gold fleet to secure one of the eighteen places offered at the 2007 ISAF Worlds in Cascais, Portugal.[7] Chasing against a vast fleet of windsurfers to the front, Frai steered her best way under breezy conditions to get a couple of top ten marks through the midway of the series. Frai's scores attained in each of the ten legs, however, narrowly missed her opportunity to enter the medal race by a slight edge, sitting her in the same spot as the previous Games with 107 net points.[8]
