In the 1956 Olympics, Bermuda fielded a three-person team – Brownlow Eve, James Kempe, and Bernard Ward – who all competed in sailing
The official Olympic site notes: “Melbourne won the right to host the 1956 Olympic Games by one vote over Buenos Aires. French long-distance runner Alain Mimoun had tasted Olympic defeat on the track three times at the hands of Czech Emil Zátopek. However, in the marathon, it was Mimoun who pulled away to record a comfortable victory. He waited at the finish line for Zátopek, his old friend and great rival, who trotted home in sixth place.”
