Salavantakis represented the host nation Greece at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, where he placed twenty-first in men's skeet shooting, with a total score of 120 points, tying his position with seven other shooters, including former Olympic champion Ennio Falco of Italy, and five-time Olympian Guillermo Alfredo Torres of Cuba.
