James Farquhar Cardno, born in Fraserburgh on 25 May 1912 and died in Leeds on 15 May 1975, was a Scottish bobsledder who competed for Great Britain at the 1936 Winter Olympics in Garmisch-Partenkirchen. He partnered Freddie McEvoy in the two-man event, where the pair finished fourth. In the four-man event he rode in the sled crewed with McEvoy, Dugdale and Green, and a consistent display there earned the bronze medal. He was not part of the McEvoy-piloted British crews that won three gold and two silver medals at the world championships between 1937 and 1939. Olympedia supplies the biography and results, and the short Wikipedia article agrees on the nationality, sport and medal.
