Harry Francis Vincent Edward, known as Harry Edward, was a German-British athlete in track; in 1920 he was Britain's first black Olympian and the first black person to win Olympic medals.
He represented the UK and competed in the 100 and 200 m 1920 Summer Olympics in Antwerp, winning bronze medals in both events.
Because he injured himself during the 200 m final, he withdrew from the 4 × 100 m relay.
