Willy Vanden Berghen

Willy Vanden Berghen was a Belgian professional road bicycle racer, born on 3 July 1939 and died on 30 March 2022. In 1960 he won two bronze medals in the road race, one at the amateur world championships and the other at the Olympic Games, which is the achievement the English Wikipedia article records for him. A rider who is on the podium at both the world championships and the Olympic road race in the same season was among the best amateurs in the world that year. The article links to his profiles at ProCyclingStats, Olympedia and InterSportStats and to the official Tour de France results page, where he appears under the spelling Willy van den Berghen, so fuller results are held in those external records rather than in the article itself.
