Marco Torrès
Marco Torrès (22 January 1888 – 15 January 1963), born in Sidi Bel Abbès, French Algeria, was a French gymnast who competed in two Summer Olympic Games - the 1912 Summer Olympics, where he finished seventh in the individual all-around competition and in the 1920 Summer Olympics, where he placed 2nd in the all-around and helped his team to a bronze medal.He also had tremendous success at the World Artistic Gymnastics Championships, where he led his French team to victory in 1909. No individual medals were awarded at these games until 1922, however FIG has retrospectively placed Torrès as individual World All-Around Champion in 1909 and 1913. Torres was also retrospectively placed second individually in 1911.
Torres was one of the few pre-World War I gymnasts who continued to compete (successfully) after the war. Provided by Wikipedia
