In the 50km in Antwerpen, Piet Ikelaar actually crossed the line in second place, but the silver medal was awarded to Cyril Alden. Eventually, the result was confirmed by the Jury of Appeal, but the official result was not changed nevertheless. I have given Ikelaar 6000 HP despite his bronze medal..
