Although the most celebrated long distance runner Alfred Shrubb had turned to professional just before the 1906 "intercalated" Olympics of, the Britons sent a very good team to Athens. Henry Hawtrey took the lead after {{convert|2|mi|km}} and won easily, beating second-placed runner John Svanberg from Sweden by {{convert|50|yd}}. The Britons used good teamwork to aid Hawtrey to win, as third-placed Irishman John Daly was disqualified because he blocked the Swedish runner's way several times. Hawtrey served with the Royal Engineers in the First World War. He was awarded the Distinguished Service Order and made a Companion of the Order of St Michael and St George in the 1918 New Year Honours.[2] References1. ^{{cite Sports-Reference |url=https://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/athletes/ha/henry-hawtrey-1.html |title=Henry Hawtrey |dead-url=no |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150122231351/http://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/athletes/ha/henry-hawtrey-1.html |archive-date=2015-01-22}} 2. ^{{London Gazette |issue=30450 |date=1 January 1918 |page=5 |supp=y}} External links
