Francis Lawrence "Frank" Lukeman (June 20, 1885 – December 23, 1946), was a Canadian athlete. He was born in Montreal, Quebec.[1]
In Stockholm Lukeman finished fourth in the pentathlon but was awarded the bronze medal after Jim Thorpe of the United States was disqualified from the gold medal (Thorpe's disqualification was eventually overturned but Ferdinand Bie of Norway was allowed to retain his gold, while James Donahue (USA) and Lukeman were permitted to retain their silver and bronze medals respectively).
In the 100 metres Lukeman took second place in his first-round heat with a time of 11.7 seconds. He did not advance to the semifinals.[2]
He won in his preliminary heat of the 200 metres, placing first overall.
Lukeman served in the Canadian Army in World War I. He returned to Montreal after the war and died in 1946.
