Antonín Honig
Antonín Hönig was a Czech cyclist.[1] In 1926, he was the Czechoslovak national champion,[2] and he took part in the 1926 UCI Road World Championships.[3] Two years later, he competed in the individual and team road race events at the 1928 Summer Olympics.[4] His racing successes between 1926 and 1930 are recorded in the online news service TheSports.org.
Honig's cycling activities were the inspiration for his cousin Josef Josten to take up sports journalism[5]. Josten later turned to political journalism, in which field he achieved international recognition or - some would say - notoriety.
