Confusion with Karel Ardelt

It is quite complicated with the two players Karel Robětín and Karel Ardelt as they are born only 3 days apart and due to their similar name. But these two players are in fact not the same person as you can see here sports-reference link. Therefore Fuchs Robětín did not play at the games 1920. It should be changed.--Siebenschläferchen (talk) 00:36, 11 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Exactly. The Sports-reference states quite clearly this is an error. Moreover, the whole thing is very confusing. (And sports-reference adds to the confusion by having three entries: Karel ardelt, Karel Fuchs(-Robětín) and a duplicate Karel Robětín…)

According to sports-reference.com:
- Karel Ardelt had a wife Anda and two sons, Robě and Karlíček.
- Karel Ardelt was an author of a popular book on tennis.
- Karel Fuchs-Robětín left for London in 1938 (as a Jew), while leaving his wife and sons in Czechoslovakia (?), with the wife and one of the sons killed in Auschwitz in 1942.
- Karel Fuchs-Robětín took playing ice hockey as well, played for 1. ČLTK for several years, with his son Robert playing for the same club and later for Karlovy Vary.
Apparently, in the 1940–1941 ice-hockey season mentioned in the article, two Robětíns played for 1. ČLTK: “R. Robětín” and “K. Robětín”. [1] Who were they? Father and son like the article states? According to SR, Karel Fuchs-Robětín was in London and one of his sons was dead. Also, the father would have been 52 years old. Not impossible but suspicious. (Could those be “Robě (= Robert?) and Karlíček (=Karel)”? Improbable, that would mean Ardelt is Robětín.)
Robert Robětín is a member of the Czech Golf Hall of Fame for his work in organizing and popularizing the game and rebuilding the golf course in Karlovy Vary (!) where he had to move from Prague in 1952. [2]
Karel Ardelt was an architect, playing tennis for the Czechoslovak Davis Cup Team, and received Czechoslovak sport medal of merit in 1964. [3]

My head hurts.
