He competed at the [[1896 Summer Olympics]] in [[Athens]] as a member of Panachaikos Gymnastikos syllogos,that merged in 1923 with Gymnastiki Etaireia Patron to become [[Panachaiki FC|Panachaiki]] Gymnastiki Enosis.

Andriakopoulos competed in the rope climbing event. He and countryman [[Thomas Xenakis]] were the only two out of the five entrants to climb all the way to the top of the 14 metre rope. Andriakopoulos finished in 23.4 seconds, defeating Xenakis to claim the gold medal. This would be the last Greek gold medal in gymnastics until [[Ioannis Melissanidis]] won gold in the [[floor exercise]] in [[1996]].

He also entered the team [[parallel bars]] event. In that competition, Andriakopoulos was a member of the [[Panellinios Gymnastikos Syllogos]] team that placed second of the three teams in the event, giving him a silver medal.
