Biography
Like his tug-of-war team mates, Jan Hengeveld competed for Achilles of Arnhem. After winning the Dutch Olympic trials, the team earned a silver medal in Antwerp. This result was in doubt for some time, as the Official Results listed both the Netherlands and the US as winning second place. This confusion was ended in 1968, when Henk Janssen presented his silver medal and associated Olympic diploma. Hengeveld worked as a civil servant at the municipality of Arnhem.
