The Amateur Athletic Foundation is itself the legacy of the 1984 Olympic Games. The Foundation is dedicated to expanding the understanding of sport in our communities. As a part of our effort, we have joined with the Southern California Olympians, an organization of over 1,000 women and men who have participated on Olympic teams, to develop an oral history of these distinguished athletes. Many Olympians who competed in the Games prior to World War II agreed to share their Olympic experiences in their own words. In the pages that follow, you will learn about these athletes, and their experiences in the Games and in life as a result of being a part of the Olympic Family. The Amateur Athletic Foundation, its Board of Directors, and staff welcome you to use this document to enhance your understanding of sport in our community. ANITA L.

When he was 13 he bought a bow: the pack included a coupon for a free lesson. He went for the lesson, and continued, paying for more, and at the age of 16 he was the youngest member of the US team at the World Championships, where he came 23rd. He won his first gold medal with the massive lead of 69 points over Japanese Michinaga and, after USA’s boycott of Moscow 1980, he won another gold medal in Los Angeles, 52 points ahead of his long- time rival, McKinney (also USA). He came 9th, just missing the final, in Seoul 1988, where he won silver behind South Korea in the first Olympic team contest; he was a reserve at Barcelona 1992, and an injury prevented him from attempting to qualify for Atlanta 1996. In the World Championships he won 2 gold medals (1975-79) and 2 individual silvers, plus 5 gold medals and 2 silver medals for team events; he won 7 national titles. His world records include a score of 1.341 points set in 1979, beaten by one point by Ukrainian Zabrodsky 10 years later. His displays included a William Tell type performance in New York’s Central Park: he asked a volunteer to hold an apple in his hand, Josh Howell from the ABC TV channel stepped forwards, and Pace hit the apple from 30 yards (27 metres), and then the arrow centred the bull’s eye of the target behind the journalist.

She started to concentrate on foils at 8 years old when, in Trieste, she accidentally entered the fencing hall instead of the hall where she was in the habit of practising gymnastics. In 1948, after graduating in industrial chemistry, she made her debut at the London Games, where she was eliminated in the semi-finals. 4 years later in Helsinki she won the gold medal, beating the 45 year- old Hungarian Ilona Elek in the deciding match 4-3, the Olympic champion at Berlin and London. She skipped the Melbourne Games because pregnant after having married Giangiacomo Corno, and in Rome in 1960 she won the bronze team medal. She continued until the Tokyo Games, then in 1972 at the Munich Olympics she was head coach for the national team, which included Antonella Ragno (q.v.), who won the individual gold medal.

    ERDÉLYI TÁRSADALOM, 17(1), 2019, DOI: 10.17177/77171.222 Saber Fencing and the Remakinghttp://www.erdelyitarsadalom.ro of the Hungarian State László Marácz1 Saber Fencing and the Remaking of the Hungarian State Abstract In Hungary, fencing, especially saber fencing is considered a national sport and an inherent part of Hungarian national identity. Although Hungary, following France and Italy, was one of the pioneers in developing the fencing sport in the second half of the nineteenth century, only in the course of the first half of the twentieth century did Hungary take the lead in developing new techniques, tactics and training methods for saber fencing. As a result, between 1908 and 1964 Hungarian saber fenc- ers dominated the international individual and team competitions. Almost all the gold medals at the Olympic Games in saber fencing in that period were won by Hungarian athletes. In this paper, it will be argued that saber fencing was of major importance in the remaking of the Hungarian State which collapsed at the end of the First World War as part of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy (K. und k.) and had to be rebuilt as an independent, sovereign nation. The conditions for peace conclud- ing the First World War for Hungary were laid down in the Treaty of Trianon (1920) that was perceived as a ‘dictate’ by the Hungarians. The state institutionalization of fencing, at that time in the form of sport fencing growing out of war and duel fencing, took place in the framework of the Hungarian Army, was supported by the highest Hungarian authorities and succeeded to counterbal- ance the impact of the Treaty of Trianon.
