Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles
available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Ian Browne, also
known as "Joey" Browne is a former Australian track cyclist who along
with Tony Marchant won the 2000 m tandem event at the 1956 Summer
Olympics in Melbourne. Unusually tall and strongly built for a cyclist,
Browne had little formal training and won his first Australian title in
1953 in the 10 mile event. Browne did not team up with Marchant until
early in 1956 and they promptly won the tandem event at the national
championships to earn national selection. The pair were eliminated after
losing their first two races but were given a reprieve when the Soviet
Union pair were hospitalised in a crash and forced to withdraw.
