Who was Kurt Doerry?

Doerry placed fifth in his preliminary heat of the 100 metres and did not advance to the final.

He also competed in the 400 metres. The records are unclear as to whether Doerry or Alphonse Grisel finished third out of the four-runner preliminary heat, but only the top two athletes in the heat advanced to the final regardless.

He also participated at the 1900 Summer Olympics in Paris in the 100 metres event, making it to the semifinals before withdrawing.
