Athina 1896 - team event

  1. Germany
    (1600) Carl Schuhmann (GER/1896)
    (1600) Conrad Böcker (GER/1896)
    (1600) Alfred Flatow (GER/1896)
    (1600) Gustav Flatow (GER/1896)
    (1600) Fritz Manteuffel (GER/1896)
    (1600) Karl Neukirch (GER/1896)
    (1600) Richard Röstel (GER/1896)
    (1600) Gustav Schuft (GER/1896)
    (1600) Hermann Weingärtner (GER/1896)
    (1600) Georg Hilmar (GER/1896)

  2. Panellinios Gymnasticos Syllogos
    (1000) Nikolaos Andriakopoulos (GRE/1896)
    (1000) Petros Persakis (GRE/1896)
    (1000) Thomas Xenakis (GRE/1896)
    there were supposed to be 32 members in the team, but I find it hard to believe that they all competed, as there were only 10 sets of parallel bars. More probably, 32 was the number of members of Panellinios GS at the games; there are many known competitors. I limit the number of real competitors to 10 and add 7 unknown gymnasts.
