Amédée Fournier

Cycling Disciplines

Amédée Fournier, who lived from 1912 to 1992, was a French professional road bicycle racer who also took part in track events at the highest level. At the 1932 Summer Olympics he won a silver medal in the team pursuit, an event in which squads of riders start on opposite sides of a velodrome and race a set distance against one another and the clock, with the result decided by the time of the team as a whole. That Olympic medal is the achievement the English Wikipedia article records for him. The page gives no club, no teams and no road results, so this entry rests only on the lead of that article.
