Robert Eugene Richards (February 20, 1926 – February 26, 2023) was an American athlete, minister, and politician. He made three U.S. Olympic Teams in two events: the 1948 , 1952 , and 1956 Summer Olympics as a pole vaulter and as a decathlete in 1956. [ 1 ]
Richards was the favorite in Helsinki after four wins at the AAU championships from 1949 to 1952 (the last tied with Don Laz).
