Ernst Emil Ulbricht (1864–1900) was a German-born American racing cyclist[1] [2] and winner of the silver medal in the Stayer competition at International Cycling Association's first World Championships in Chicago in 1893.[3] [4] As a road racer he won the time prize in the 1894 and 1895 editions of the Santa Monica Road Race.[5] [6] [7] [8]
By 1900, Ulbricht was working for the Honolulu Iron Works. During a weekend excursion he drowned after being taken by surprise by a huge wave near Makapuʻu Point in Hawaii. His body was found a few days later inside a giant shark that was captured and killed by local fishermen. After the autopsy the coroner concluded that the corpse must have been eaten by the shark after drowning.[9]
