Charles Brodbeck

Charles Brodbeck was a British gymnast who competed in the all-around competition at the 1900 Paris Olympics. Brodbeck was born in France to a Swiss father from Lausanne and a German mother but later settled in Nottingham, England. He represented a British club at the 1900 Olympics, the City of Birmingham Gymnastics Club. He has also been listed as Swiss but the newspaper Le Rappel, from 1 August 1900, lists him as a British athlete.

The London Gazette announced that Brodbeck, “a teacher of physical exercises living in West Bridgford, Nottinghamshire” had been granted British nationality on 6 October 1927.
