Paraskevopoulos competed in the [[discus]] throw, an event which the Greek public felt that a Greek athlete was sure to win.  Indeed, when Paraskevopoulos threw the discus 28.95 metres, it seemed as if he had won the event.  The only athlete left to throw was [[Robert Garrett]] of the [[United States]], who had been unable to throw the discus any distance in his first two throws.  Garrett's final attempt, however, was a good one and sailed to 29.15 metres, relegating Paraskevopoulos to second place.
