Biography

The Games report refers to Corey as a "Frenchman wearing the colors of the Chicago Athletic Association".[3] Corey was a French immigrant to the United States, who lived in America and did not have the right papers. Previously the International Olympic Committee listed him as an American, due to insufficient or improper documentation at the time.[4] Currently IOC attributes his medal in the marathon to France[5] and the medal in the team race to a mixed team, not to the United States. In 2021, its identity is re-established by the Olympic Studies Centre, a division of the IOC.[6] In May 2021, following a book about Albert Corey,[7] the IOC officially recognizes the medal of the athlete to the male Marathon to the Olympic Games of 1904 as French.[8]

Competing for the First Regiment Athletic Association of Chicago on June 6, 1908, Corey finished ahead of Roy Kemper and teammate Alexander Thibeau to win the 15-mile St. Louis Marathon.[9]

Albert Corey[1], né le 16 avril 1878 à Meursault[2] et mort le 3 août 1926 dans le 15e arrondissement de Paris[3],[4], est un athlète français qui a participé aux Jeux olympiques de 1904 de Saint-Louis où il s'est classé deuxième du marathon. Il vivait à ce moment aux États-Unis, et les historiens ne se sont jamais vraiment accordés quant à savoir si sa médaille revenait à la France ou aux États-Unis. 116 ans après l'épreuve, le CIO attribue finalement la médaille à la France, la seule de ce pays dans cette édition des Jeux olympiques.
