Before the 1896 Summer Olympics in Athens, Pepanos was hesitating about taking part due to the fact he was already 30 years old and past his prime. Finally, that great swimmer competed in the 500 metres freestyle event. He finished second with a time of 9:57.6. The winner, Austrian Paul Neumann, had finished in 8:12.6.
