Frederick Henry "Harry" Wyld (born 5 June 1900, Mansfield, England,[1][2][3] died Derby, England,[1] 5 April 1976) was a British track cyclist. He won bronze medals at the 1924 and the 1928 Summer Olympics.[4]
On 5 August 1928 in Amsterdam, Harry Wyld, with Frank Southall, Percy Wyld and his brother Leonard Wyld, broke the Olympic team pursuit record by 9.2 seconds, in 5:01.6. They were the third team to hold the record since it began on 10 August 1920. It was broken by 10.2 seconds next day before standing for nearly eight years.[5] It is likely the record was broken in the quarter or semi-final as they won a bronze medal; they would have proceeded to the final had the record been broken in qualifying rounds.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".[discuss]
