Panagiotis Kambas

He did not play in the Épée team qualification round, and the rosters for the semifinal round are unknown. In analogy with the teams of Germany and Bohemia, I assume that the players from the first round are the only ones who competed at all. Therefore, Kambas is not counted among the team épée competitors, and consequently, he is not to be considered an Olympian at all.
