Aleksandar Zorić

Aleksandar Zorić (born October 17, 1925 in Zemun , † November 17, 2000 in Los Angeles ) was a Yugoslav cyclist and Olympian.

He celebrated his greatest sporting success by winning the International Peace Tour in 1948, which took place in two stages. He won the tour from Prague to Warsaw , his compatriot and biggest national competitor August Prosenik won the tour from Warsaw to Prague. Zorić won the tour without having won a single stage. Thanks to a successful exit attempt on the last stage, he turned a five-minute deficit into a five-minute lead. At the subsequent Olympic Games in London in the summer of 1948 , he started in the street race, which he did not finish.
