Cycling at the 1920 Summer Olympics – Men's sprint
Cycling at the Olympics / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The men's sprint event was part of the track cycling programme at the 1920 Summer Olympics.[1] There were 37 competitors from 11 nations, with each nation apparently limited to four cyclists (down from 12 the last time the event was held, in 1908).[2] The event was won by Maurice Peeters of the Netherlands, the nation's first victory in the men's sprint. Two British cyclists, Thomas Johnson and Harry Ryan, were in the final as well, taking silver and bronze.
