Koloman Sović

Koloman Sović was a Croatian cyclist who had a brief career in the early 1920s. In 1921 Sović finished second in the road race at the Yugoslavia national championships. Three years later he was selected to compete at the 1924 Paris Olympics where he finished 41st in the individual road race. In addition to his Olympic appearance he also placed 29th at the 1926 World Championships in the amateur road race.

After his cycling career Sović took up motorcycling, but was forced to quit the sport in the early 1930s following a serious accident. He then devoted his time to flying, but lived in fear of the communist authorities of the time. In 1945 he moved to Trieste, before later making a permanent move to Argentina, where he lived until his death in Buenos Aires in January 1971.
