He and his cousin Gerald were Britons living in Athina, which is why he competed at both Olympics there.

He is the only shooter who also competed in Paris, and since there was no shooting at St. Louis, this makes him the only person to compete at all early Olympiads where his sport was performed.

He was born in Praha and played for DFC Prag, Although Bohemia had a separate Olympic team in 1912, they were not allowed to enter a football team because they were not (any longer) members of FIFA. I class the Czech-born members of the Austrian team as Czechs, therefore.

His total for the combined exercises was 135, of which 31 and 29 are known as his scores on Long Horse and Side Horse respectively. That leaves 75 for the other two events, in which he must have scored less than 40 and 39, the scores for the known third place finishers. He must have scored 36 to 38 points on each of those events, and probably placed fourth in both of them.
