Henri Helle

Henri Helle, born on September fourth, eighteen seventy-three, was a distinguished archer who represented France at the inaugural modern Olympic Games in nineteen hundred.

During the 1900 Summer Olympics, Helle showcased his remarkable skills in archery, competing in two events. He achieved a commendable second place in the fifty metre Au Chapelet event, demonstrating his prowess and competitive spirit.

In addition to his success in the Au Chapelet, Helle also participated in the fifty metre Au Cordon Doré competition, where he finished in fourth place. His score of twenty-seven points in this event was just one point shy of securing a medal, as he trailed behind the third-place archer, Émile Fisseux.

While the specific scores for the Au Chapelet competition remain unknown, Helle's contributions to the sport during this early Olympic era are noteworthy and reflect the rich history of archery in France.
