Bronze medal – third place 1896 Athens Foil

Athanasios Vouros was a Greek fencer. He competed at the 1896 Summer Olympics in Athens.[1]

Vouros competed in the foil event. He placed second of four in his preliminary group after winning his match against Georgios Balakakis, losing to Eugène-Henri Gravelotte, and winning by forfeit against Konstantinos Komninos-Miliotis. Because he had only won one actual bout, Vouros was considered to have won fourth place behind Perikles Pierrakos-Mavromichalis, who had placed second in his preliminary group but had won two bouts without forfeits.[2] However, nowadays appears as having won also the third place and a bronze medal.[3]
