AlojzSokol (in Hungarian: Alajos Szokolyi) (June 19, 1871 - September 9, 1932) was a Slovak athlete from the Kingdom of Hungary.
Sokol and Lane are currently considered to split the bronze medal for the event (no medals were awarded at the 1896 Olympics) by the International Olympic Committee.
Sources differ as to whether Sokol placed second or third in his preliminary heat, with most claiming that he was in second until hitting the final hurdle and stumbling, allowing Frantz Reichel to pass him and take second place.

Two other Slovenes, Alojz Kolman and Aljaž Pegan, made contributions to world gymnastics by originating moves on the horizontal bar.
It was the Sokol movement that really promoted the sport, and under the leadership of Dr Viktor Murnik the sporting activities of the movement blossomed.
The Slovene Sokol Federation joined the international gymnastics federation in 1905, and in 1907 Slovenes first competed at the international competition that was later to become the world championships.

Slovene gymnastics has a very long tradition: the first gymnastic society was formed in 1863 in Ljubljana under the name Juzni Sokol.
Poor decisions in sports policy resulted in a period of under-achievement after Cerar, and it was only with Alojz Kolman that Slovene gymnastics once again came to the fore.

Żarski T. P., Żarska H., Arkuszewska E., Váľka J., Sokol J., Beseda I.: The bioindicative role of mushrooms in the evaluation of environmental contamination with mercury compounds.
