Biography

Danish track and field athlete Fritz Bøchen Vikke specialised in the pole vault. Vikke was a three-time national champion in the event, winning the title in 1908, 1910, and 1912, in addition to winning three bronze medals (1903, 1904, 1909). At the 1912 Stockholm Olympics he cleared 3.40 metres in the qualifying round but had three failures at 3.50 metres, and therefore did not advance to the final.

Personal Best: PV – 3.40 (1912).
