Biography
editIn the Olympic final, Deloge won the silver medal ahead of John Bray. The race was won by Charles Bennett who won the gold medal. He also won the silver medal in the 5000 metres team race for the French distance team.[1]
Deloge also placed fourth in the 800 metres, after winning his semifinal heat with a time of 2:00.6. A repeat of that time would have won the final, but Deloge placed fourth instead with an unknown time (but one greater than 2:03.0, the silver medalist's time).
The following year in 1901, Deloge finished third in the 1 mile event at the British 1901 AAA Championships.[2][3]
