Und noch ergänzend zu 1908:
Tandem Sprint, 2,000 metres, Men Date 13 – 15 July 1908 Status Olympic Location White City Stadium, London Participants 34 from 7 countries Maurice Schilles and André Auffray were both top sprinters individually, but they had never ridden together as a tandem prior to the first heat of this event. Both would win medals at the world sprint championships, Auffray a silver in 1907 and Schilles a bronze in 1909. The final was a slow race but the French tandem drew away gradually in the straight to win easily. Colin Brooks and Walter Isaacs lodged a protest, claiming that they had been cut off the French pair on the last turn, but it was disallowed.

1920:
Sprint, Men Date 9 August 1920 Status Olympic Location Garden City Velodroom, Wilrijk, Antwerpen Participants 37 from 11 countries Format 1,000 metres. The match sprint was the first event contested. In the first round 37 sprinters were only reduced to 24. Three British riders advanced to the semi-finals, with two of them, Thomas Johnson, and Harry Ryan, winning their heats to advance to the final where Maurice Peeters of The Netherlands joined them. Ryan had actually been runner-up in the world sprint championships when they were last contested in 1913. In the finals, Peeters rode in second place for one lap, but at the bell took the lead. Johnson was gaining on the last turn when Peeters rode him up the bank a bit, forcing him wide. The English protested this action, but it was rejected and Peeters was awarded the championship.
Team Pursuit, 4,000 metres, Men Date 9 – 10 August 1920 Status Olympic Location Garden City Velodroom, Wilrijk, Antwerpen Participants 32 from 8 countries The team pursuit quarter-finals were contested on 10 August, with the final two rounds held the next day. The event was marked by controversy. Great Britain won the first semi-final easily against Belgium. In the second semi-final, Italy was well ahead of South Africa with ½-lap remaining. As South Africa crossed the finish mark at that point, the official starter fired the finishing pistol, and the South Africans slowed demonstrably. A protest was entered, but Italy had the race well in hand, and this would likely not have affected the result. The pursuit final was contested between Great Britain and Italy. Britain’s Albert White fell off the pace of his team after four laps, but continued to ride. The Italian team caught up to him shortly thereafter. When they did, White pulled wide to allow them to pass. However, the Italians had already pulled wide to pass and they thought he was obstructing them. Two Italians went wide around him, while two went low, all four of them shouting at them as they passed. White dropped out on the next lap. A French rider, Henri Habent, ran over to him and punched him in the chest. Britain went on to win by 4/10ths of a second. The Italians naturally protested. The protest jury consisted of J. Blair of Great Britain, an Italian and a Frenchman. Blair and the Italian withdrew because of the conflict of interest and the French judge ruled in favor of the Italians.

50 kilometer, Men Date 10 August 1920 – 16:30 Status Olympic Location Garden City Velodroom, Wilrijk, Antwerpen Participants 31 from 10 countries The final track race, the 50 kilometre race, was the last event held on the second day of cycling, 10 August. Thirty-one riders started with 14 finishing. Thomas Harvey of Great Britain led out the sprint at 200 metres but fell on the final straight, when he had a ½-length lead. Apparently, his rear wheel and Henry George's (BEL) front wheel collided, causing the fall. George stayed up and went on to win. Cyril Alden hit Harvey’s fallen bike, and also fell, but was thrown over the line, and finished second, only a few centimetres behind George. Piet Ikelaar (NED) protested that he, and not Alden, had finished second but the protest was not allowed.

- Danke für den Hinweis. Dann lag ich ja nicht so falsch ;). In vielen englischen Quellen heißt er übrigens oft "HT 'Tiny' Johnson". --Nicola Verbessern statt löschen! 11:18, 27. Aug. 2010 (CEST)

OK, danke für das Angebot! Werde im Notfall gerne darauf zurückkomen. In der Regel kommt man ja mit SportsReference gut klar, und die lagen ja auch in diesem Falle richtig. Sind ja auch offensichtlich dieselben Leute. --Nicola Verbessern statt löschen! 12:02, 27. Aug. 2010 (CEST)
