Pierre Cousin

Pierre Cousin was a French long-distance runner, born on 14 June 1913 and dead on 25 March 1963, who represented France at the Olympic Games. He took part in the men's marathon at the 1948 Summer Olympics, the first Games held after the Second World War, which makes him one of the French athletes who ran the full 42-kilometre distance on the sport's biggest stage during the post-war revival of international competition. The English Wikipedia entry on him is a short stub, giving only his dates of life, his nationality, his event and the Games at which he competed, so this entry records no club, no personal best and no finishing position, and leaves those facts for a later pass against Olympic results records rather than guessing at them.
