Émile Joseph Demangel (20 June 1882 – 11 October 1968)[1] was a French amateur track cyclist who competed in several sprint events at the 1906 Intercalated Games and 1908 Summer Olympics. In 1906, he finished fourth in the 5,000 m and 333⅓ m time trial events. At the 1908 Games, he served as the flag bearer for the French delegation, won a silver medal in the 660 yards sprint, and placed fifth in the 1,980 yards team pursuit. The same year, he set a world record in the paced 500 metre time trial and won a bronze medal in the sprint at the world championships. A street in Xertigny, where he died in 1968, is named for him.[2][3]
