George Lambert

George Lambert won two medals in the team event in modern pentathlon, but in 1960 at Rome, he came close to an individual medal with a fifth place finish when he won the riding and placed fourth in shooting. In 1956 he fared less well, finishing 18th individually and second in the riding. Lambert won the 1960 National Championship, was second in 1959, and third in 1956. At the 1959 Pan American Games he won individual silver and team gold (with the non-Olympians Leslie Bleamaster and Robert Miller). He served for many years in the U.S. Army but then entered government work and later worked for the State Department.
