Female runners were first accepted in the Olympic Games for the 100m, 800m and 4x100m relay in Amsterdam in 1928, but the distress of some 800m runners at the finishing line - comparable to some men – was perceived indicative of their frailty and the event was not re-established at Olympic level until 1960 in Rome. In London in 1948 the 200m was introduced, the 400m in Tokyo in 1964, the 1500m and 4x400m relay not until Munich in 1972. As for longer distance, where women’s hair might cling to their perspiring foreheads and shoulders, the 3000m was not to be admitted, together with marathon and 400m hurdles, until Los Angeles in 1984; the 10.000m in Seoul in 1988, the 5000m (replacing 3000m) in Atlanta in 1996.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

  • 0 Eulogy Delivered by Alan Jones Ao Honouring the Life
    EULOGY DELIVERED BY ALAN JONES AO HONOURING THE LIFE OF BETTY CUTHBERT AM MBE AT THE SYDNEY CRICKET GROUND MONDAY 21 AUGUST 2017 0 There is a crushing reminder of our own mortality in being here today to honour and remember the unyieldingly great Betty Cuthbert, AM. MBE. Four Olympic gold medals, one Commonwealth Games gold medal, two silver medals, 16 world records. The 1964 Helms World Trophy for Outstanding Athlete of the Year in all amateur sports in Australia. And it’s entirely appropriate that this formal and official farewell, sponsored by the State Government of New South Wales, should be taking place in this sporting theatre, which Betty adorned and indeed astonished in equal measure. It was here that in preparation for the Cardiff Empire Games in 1958 and the Rome Olympics in 1960, as the Games were being held in the Northern Hemisphere, out of season for Australian athletes, that winter competition was arranged to bring them to their peak. Races were put on here at the Sydney Cricket Ground at half time during a rugby league game. And it was in July 1978, as Betty was suffering significantly, but not publicly, from multiple sclerosis, that the government of New South Wales invited Betty Cuthbert to become the first woman member of the Sydney Cricket Ground Trust. Of course, in the years since that appointment, as Betty herself acknowledged, her road became often rocky and steep. 1 She once talked about the pitfalls, the craters and the hurdles. But along the way, she found many revival points.

    “Glas rođen iz bola” “Mnogo sam dobra vidio i mnogo zla. A to dobro nikada nije bilo savr{eno. Uvijek je na njemu nekakav {av, nekakav defekt, uvijek je nekakva nesavr{enost na bo`anskoj slici, nekakav nedostatak u an|eoskoj pjesmi, nekakvo mucanje u bo`anskom govoru.” Dugo se vremena znalo za postojanje The Britten-Pears Collection koju je utemeljio legendarni producent DECCA-inih i potom BBC-jevih izdanja John Culshaw. Do sada ni jedan od ovij ~etiriju video naslova nije bio objavljen i tim je vi{e pojavljivanje cjelovitih filmova na DVD-u, koji obilje`avaju zna~ajna ostvarenja skladatelja, pijaniste i dirigenta lorda Benjamina Edwarda Brittena (1913.-1976.) i njegovog `ivotnog partnera tenora Petera Pearsa (1910.-1986.), za kojega je i napisao mnogo svoja djela uklju~uju}i i operu “Peter Grimes”, svojevrsna svjetska glazbena senzacija. Sve su te snimke prire|ene upravo za televiziju, a neki su tonski zapisi istovremeno prire|eni i za izdavanje na nosa~ima zvuka.

Barbara Jones (Slater) Barbara Jones (Slater) (born March 26, 1937 in Chicago), a Tigerbelle from 1957 to 1961 and a 1961 graduate of Tennessee State, was a member of the 1952 and 1960 Olympic-champion 4 x 100 meter relay teams, both of which set world records. She remains the youngest Olympic track gold medalist ever, at age fifteen, and she was a frequent member of the American 4 x 100 meter relay team that dominated 1950s competition. She was also part of three of TSU’s Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) national-championship winning teams1. (In the years prior to highly- organized intercollegiate sports, the AAU championship was the most important national-level competition for women.) In addition to her victories as a member of the national and TSU teams, Jones had a number of individual victories in the 100 meters/100 yards: the AAU national championship in 1953, 1954, and 19572, the Pan American Games in 1955, and the USA-USSR dual meet in 19583 and 1959, when the meet “rivaled the Olympic Games in international and domestic importance”4.

  • Essex Walker Is to Hold an Appeal for the Gambian Home for Children with Learning Difficulties
    Issue No: 373 December/January 2017 Editor: Dave Ainsworth REGAL PERFORMANCE BY DOMINIC KING (reported by George Nibre) Dominic King: 4th position German 50K Championship, Ardenach Germany, 8 October 2016, in 3 hours 55 minutes 48 secs - World Cup LONDON qualifier under 3:57:30 standard. 2nd All time GB Rankings, quickest ever by UK Walker on IAAF Ratified course with judges present, no cards. The KING returns. CHRISTMAS APPEAL For a 14th year, Essex Walker is to hold an appeal for The Gambian Home for Children with Learning Difficulties. This is run by former Junior International and Essex County Champion race walker Geoff Hunwicks with his wife Rohey and based in The Gambia at Hart House (named after former Essex Grade 1 Judge Albert Hart). Last year a grand sum of £500 was raised. The aim is to donate what you'd normally spend on Christmas Cards to others within race walking, plus anything extra you may wish to add - our first edition post-Christmas edition will publish a subscribers' list, so readers get to know why they never got a Christmas Card from you! Tony Perkins has again kindly agreed to receive and forward your donations. Please either see him at our meetings or send your donations to him at: Deans Farmhouse, Tye Green, CRESSING, Essex CM77 8HU. Please make cheques/postal orders payable to Hart House Charitable Fund. As a registered charity, Gift Aid of 25% can be claimed on your donations. AT THE HEART OF THE MIDLANDS Essex Walker readers, past and present, were prominent in the annual British Police/Civil Service/Ryan Cup Representative Match (Police v CS) event in Birmingham.
