Trevor Hedberg Explained

Trevor Hedberg (2 February 1886  - 11 September 1954) was a British sailor and Olympic champion. He competed at the 1920 Summer Olympics in Antwerp and won a gold medal in the 18 ft. Dinghy class with Francis Richards.[1] [2] Sailing the boat Brat, Richards and Hedberg were the only entrants in their class. It is uncertain if this crew was actually awarded the gold medals - they were not able to finish the first competition and they did not start in any other; they do not appear in the Official Report of the Antwerp Games.[3] However they are listed on the website of the ISAF as well as that of the IOC as Gold Medalists.[4]
