    Lionel Cox took part in the 1,000m scratch race: the first-round heat was on 28th July 1952, quarter final 29th July, semi-final and won the silver in the final on 31st July. He and Mockridge took part in the 2000m tandem race: the first-round heat was on 28th July, quarter-final and semi-final on 29th July and won the final on 31st July. This is from the official Helsinki Olympics report, which has a photo of Cox and the other two scratch race medal winners, and one of Mockridge, and another of the pair in the semi-final of the tandem race. library.la84.org/6oic/OfficialReports/1952/OR1952.pdf Wikipedia says:
    In track cycling, a scratch race is a race in which all riders start together and the object is simply to be first over the finish line after a certain number of laps. There are no intermediate points or sprints.

    I'd guess this was during an event -e.g. ride a certain distance, drink a cup of tea using only a spoon, complete the ride.

    The Penny Illustrated Paper and Illustrated Times, Saturday, June 13, 1896 gives an idea of the events in a bicycle gymkhana

    Persil washes whiter, and it SHOWS! OMO and Persil are still produced, apparently.

    The way they are tucking in I would say it was during the race. It looks like soup, Scotch Broth or Mulligitawny !

    If the print in the PIP article is too small, this is what the 5000 spectators, including royalty, saw at Barnes
    In the amusing "needle" race, ladies had to ride 100 yards, dismount, amd thread a needle at a table, remount, and return to the winning-post round a marked course with the threaded needle. Miss Florence Grenfell was the charming winner. In the bill-posting race competitors had to ride 50 yards, dismount, post abill on a hoarding, mount, and ride 150 yards to the winning-post. The hoop race, the egg-and-spoon race, the linked-hands-race, and the parasol race and also attracted much amused attention. Between two of the races ten young ladies performed a pretty musical ride, arranged and directed by Miss Stuart Snell and the Misses Moss, and were warmly applauded by the royal party.

    In April 1896 Freeman's Journal mentions the upcoming Barnes gymkhana in its 'London Correspondence' column, and lists the events as in the report above but also including a 200 yard side saddle race. Presumably this was dropped from the programme of events on the grounds of it being somewhere between impractical and impossible.
