Biographies - COU

Pierre, Baron de Coubertin

Olympic Competitor nr 4983

• 1912-03-01 - Art Competitions - Literature - gold (9600)

He entered the "Ode to Sport" under the pseudonym of Georg Hohrod and Martin Eschbach, Germany. The reason for the use of an alias is understandable and acceptable. But there is no need to keep up the illusion, and no need to class him or his gold medal as German, as some sources continue to do.
