Charles PACÔME

Charles Pacôme was particularly successful at the Olympics. After winning the silver medal in 1928 he added a gold medal in 1932, both in lightweight freestyle. His only other international medal came at the 1931 European Championship with a bronze in welterweight freestyle. He was a lawyer, but he also attended the conservatory in Lille and won several prizes as a violinist. His father Bénoni had already been a well-known international wrestler.
