Panellinios Gymnastikos Syllogos

The Panellinios Gymnastikos Syllogos had a team of gymnasts compete at the 1896 Summer Olympics in Athens.

The team's leader was Sotirios Athanasopoulos. Members included Nikolaos Andriakopoulos, Petros Persakis, Thomas Xenakis, and 29 others whose names are unknown.

The team placed second of the three teams in the parallel bars team event, earning a silver medal (retroactively awarded by the International Olympic Committee, as the awards at the first Olympic Games differed from the gold, silver, bronze format used later).

The club has also a basketball department which plays in A1 Ethniki and was champion in 1939, 1940, 1953, 1955, 1957
