Maurice Peeters

Mouritius "Maurice" Prosper Peeters (5 May 1882 – 5 December 1957) was a track cyclist from the Netherlands, who represented his country at the two consecutive Summer Olympics (1920 and 1924).

In the final, he rode against two British cyclists, Harry Ryan and Tiny Johnson.

They tried to make use of their numerical advantage, and Ryan attacked, so that Peeters had to get him back.

[2] After having won the gold medal at the 1920 Summer Olympics in Antwerp (1000 m sprint), making him the first Dutch individual Olympic champion, he captured the bronze medal four years later in the 2000 m tandem competition, alongside Gerard Bosch van Drakestein.
