" How do we know that other champions did not tell Cedric? Considering
 the fact that canon is silent on that point (granted in itself "no 
evidence" is not necessarily an evidence to the contrary) and Cedric
never once mentions it to Harry or anybody else, I think it is more 
than a pure speculation , but a reasonable assumption to  make."

Del replies with 3 questions :

1. Did Cedric mention to anyone that Harry told him about the dragons ?

2. Did Harry mention to anyone (except Ron and Hermione, but I don't
even remember him telling *them*) that he told Cedric about the
dragons ? (Moody overheard him, that's different).

3. If one of the other champions had indeed told Cedric after Harry,
why would Cedric tell anyone ? In particular, why would he tell Harry ?

I, Del, wrote earlier :
"And by the way, the other champions did not SEE the dragons. Their
trainers did. "

Alla answered :
"It is the same to me. Do you think that Madam Maxime did not describe
 it in all details to Fleur, for example?"

Del replies :
I'm sorry, but even the most vivid description is NOT AT ALL the same
as seeing with your own eyes.
Examples :
- Ron knew that the TWT tasks would be dangerous. But it's only when
he actually *saw* in what danger Harry was that he understood.
- Harry is so special in the fight against LV because he's the only
one who's actually *seen* him since he came back. He told the others
about what he saw, but it's not at all the same.
