The first competition he participated in was the individual rifle competition. He led after the first ten shots. After poor performance in the second and third sections of the competition, he dropped to second place and only won the silver medal (actually bronze medal) behind his compatriot Georgios Orphanidis . In the rapid fire pistol competition, he won the Olympic title ahead of Orphanidis. In the free pistol competition he was third behind the American shooter Sumner Paine and the Dane Holger Nielsen.
In his fourth appearance in the military pistol competition, he finished fourth.
