He won the bronze medal in the individual all-around in 1908, as well as the silver medal in 1912.[1][2] He was one of the first crop of competitive career gymnasts at the level of the World Championships and Olympic Games.
In addition to his two successful Olympic appearances, he was also a 3-time French World team member, helping his team to the medal standings every time at the World Championships, in 1907, 1909, and 1913. Also, he won an individual medal on Parallel Bars at the 1907 World Championships.
