Aliprantis won the rope climbing event at the 1906 Intercalated Games in Athens, Greece. The event consisted of climbing up a 10 metres (33 ft) rope in the fastest time, and Aliprantis' time of 11.4 seconds was 2.4 seconds quicker than Hungary's Béla Erödy, who finished second.[1]: 102 [2][3] At the Games, Aliprantis also competed in the Individual all-around, 5 events competition, finishing fifth.
