Demosthenes Tampakos

Gold medal	2004 Athens	Gymnastics Men's rings
Silver medal	2000 Sydney	Gymnastics Men's rings

Demosthenes 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 Demosthenes 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.
