He received a silver medal there in 1921 and a gold medal in 1929.

This sculpture of an athlete appears to be unpublished in the documented body of his work. Nevertheless, it is known that he participated in the official competition for the 1924 Paris Olympic Games in the “sculpture” category. On that occasion, he reportedly presented a javelin thrower during the artistic competitions at the Grand Palais.
