Robert Bridge (16 April 1883 – 17 July 1953) was a British racewalker who competed at the 1912 Summer Olympics.[1]

Career

[edit]

Bridge became the National 2 miles walk champion and the National 7 miles walk champion after winning both AAA Championships titles at the 1912 AAA Championships.[2][3]

Shortly after the 1912 AAA Championships, he competed in the 10 km walk at the 1912 Summer Olympics in Stockholm, Sweden.[4]

Bridge retained his 2 miles and 7 miles walk titles at the 1913 AAA Championships and the 1914 AAA Championships.[5] After World War I, Bridge successfully returned to action to win the 2 miles walk at the 1919 AAA Championships and finished third behind Ugo Frigerio in the 2 miles walk event at the 1922 AAA Championships.[6][7][8]
