He is generally registered as a Frenchman, but in 1906 he competed as a Greek. I list him as Greek for that reason.

Member of the Soviet gymnastics team from '68 to '76, winning gold each
time.
At München despite the popular appeal of Olga
Korbut, she impressed the more discerning experts with her combination
of flawless technique and precise timing. She won the overall title but failed
to win any individual apparatus. In the 1973 European championships however,
she emulated Latynina and
Caslavska by capturing every apparatus gold
medal.
She is married to Valeri Borsov.
