About Percy Wyld
- Percy Wyld (7 June 1907 – 1972) was a British track cyclist, born in Nottinghamshire, who won a bronze medal at the 1928 Summer Olympics.On 5 August 1928 in Amsterdam, with Frank Southall, Harry Wyld and Lew Wyld, he broke the team pursuit Olympic record in 5:01.6, beating the previous record by 9.2 seconds.
- They were the third team to hold the record since it began on 10 August 1920.
- It was broken by 10.2 seconds the next day before standing for nearly eight years.
- It's likely the record was broken in the quarter or semi-final, as the team won a bronze medal; it would have proceeded to the finals had the record been broken in qualifying rounds.
