Biography

Eugène Langenraedt was a Belgian track and field athlete who specialised in sprinting. Langenraedt won five medals at the national championships with two silvers in the 400 metres (1927–28), and three bronze in 200 metres (1924–25, 1927). In 1925 he set a Belgian record in the 200 metres when he ran 22.1 seconds, with the record standing until 1928. Langenraedt was selected to run in the 4 × 100 metres relay at the 1924 Amsterdam Olympics but the Belgian team did not compete in the race. Four years later he did run in the 400 metres and the 4 × 400 metres relay at the 1928 Amsterdam Olympics but did not advance from the heats in either race.

Personal Best: 400 – 51.0 (1927).
