Tandem Sprint, Professionals, Men

This was a large field with 27 tandems from 13 countries racing, which required nine heats of three tandems each in the first round. The winner of each heat advanced to three semi-finals, with the three winners of the semis advancing to the finals. The heats and semi-finals were raced over 1,000 metres while the final was at 2,000 metres.

On paper the American team of Tom Cooper and Floyd McFarland looked strongest but they lost out in the third semi-final, which was won by a mixed national team of Dutch rider Harry Meijers and Italian Gian-Ferdinando Tommaselli. In the final Meijers and Tommaselli faced a French team of Jean-Baptiste Louvet and probably the strongest sprinter in the event, Edmond Jacquelin. In the sprint, the team of Anton Huber of Germany and Franz Seidl of Austria led out, but Meijers and Tommaselli were too strong and came around them to win the final narrowly, as Louvet and Jacquelin did not contest the last 100 metres as they were well back. Meijers and Tommaselli won 2,000 francs for winning, with 1,000 francs going to Huber and Seidl.
