Filindras qualified for the Greek squad in the men's long jump at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens by successfully jumping an Olympic A-standard of 8.30 m from the Venizelia International Athletics Meet in Chania.{{cite news|title=Tsiklitiria IAAF Super Grand Prix – Preview|url=http://www.iaaf.org/news/preview/tsiklitiria-iaaf-super-grand-prix-preview|publisher=IAAF|date=21 June 2003|accessdate=17 March 2015}} Filindras started off abruptly with a foul, until he soared out to a legal leap at 7.45 m on his second attempt. Since his third jump was slightly shorter than his best by three centimetres, Filindras wound only to thirty-fifth spot in a field of forty-one athletes, and did not advance past the qualifying round.{{cite web|title=IAAF Athens 2004: Men's Long Jump Qualification|url=http://www.iaaf.org/competitions/olympic-games/28th-olympic-games-3201/results/men/long-jump/qualification/summary|work=Athens 2004|publisher=IAAF|accessdate=17 March 2015}} 8.30 was the joint ninth best in the world in 2003, and the third best in the Balkans, behind compatriot Louis Tsatoumas (8.34) and Nikolay Atanasov (8.31), and somewhat ahead of the third best Greek jumper, Dimitrios Serelis (8.21, 21st).{{cite web|url=https://worldathletics.org/records/toplists/jumps/long-jump/all/men/senior/2003?regionType=world&windReading=regular&page=1&bestResultsOnly=true&maxResultsByCountry=all&eventId=10229617&ageCategory=senior|title=Senior 2003: Long Jump men|publisher=World Athletics|access-date=2 February 2024}}
