Dimosthenis TampakosDimosthenis Tampakos (Greek: Δημοσθένης Ταμπάκος) is a gymnast from Greece. He won gold in the men's rings at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens with a score of 9.862. However, this title was highly controversial as Bulgarian Jordan Jovtchev performed, according to many non-Greek observers and specialists, much better and complex combinations. After Dimosthenis dismounted the rings, he did not stick his landing, there was a slight shuffle in the feet to maintain his balance which is a mandatory deduction. Jovtchev's dismount was much more difficult and more importantly, he did not move upon landing making it a more solid routine. Bronze medalist Yuri Chechi of Italy clearly showed his opinion that Jovchev deserved the gold by raising the Bulgarian's hand in front of the spectators. Tampakos, Dimosthenis
