My father attended in 1932 and was an usher in the 1984 games. Awesome
Thanks for posting this, truly awesome performances by those athletes back then.
Loved the video and the music is perfect. Thank you
Nishi from here to iwo jima spooky
That start to the 800 metres race, though - with everyone using the crouch start, were they thinking that it was a sprint event?

4.08 are we sure that's a woman, Freeze itt at 4.11 and check out that 5 o'clock shadow moustache and the Adams apple😮😅 there's no way that's a woman freeze at 4.11 and tell me I'm wrong lol I'm sure I've watched an old documentary about a Country back then that pulled these shenanigans by dressing up man and putting them in the female event.

That would be Stanisława Walasiewicz. She was intersex, so no shenanigans there. She was socially and legally a woman and therefore eligible to compete. Modern sporting rules would disagree, but this was 90 years ago.

The circumstances of the death forced the police to perform an autopsy. The Cuyahoga County coroner found that the victim had both female and male sexual organs, but not fully developed. The news went out into the world and caused a stir.
