Hannes Kolehmainen in the United States, 1912– 1921 By: Adam Berg, Mark Dyreson Berg, A

The Flying Finn's American Sojourn: Hannes Kolehmainen in the United States, 1912– 1921 By: Adam Berg, Mark Dyreson Berg, A. & Dyreson, M. (2012). The Flying Finn’s American Sojourn: Hannes Kolehmainen in the United States, 1912-1921. International Journal of the History of Sport, 29(7), 1035-1059. doi: 10.1080/09523367.2012.679025 This is an Accepted Manuscript of an article published by Taylor & Francis in International Journal of the History of Sport on 15 May 2012, available online: http://www.tandfonline.com/10.1080/09523367.2012.679025 Made available courtesy of Taylor & Francis: http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/09523367.2012.679025 ***© Taylor & Francis.

He spent nearly a decade living in Brooklyn, plying his trade as a mason and dominating the amateur endurance running circuit in his adopted homeland. He became a naturalised US citizen in 1921 but returned to Finland shortly thereafter. During his American sojourn, the US press depicted him simultaneously as an exotic foreign athlete and as an immigrant shaped by his new environment into a symbol of successful assimilation. Kolehmainen's career raised questions about sport and national identity – both Finnish and American – about the complexities of immigration during the floodtide of European migration to the US, and about native and adopted cultures in shaping the habits of success.

Cambridge - June 13-14

1924 Cambridge - June 13-14 As in 1920, all finals were held on the second day except the walk, with heats on the first day, while all semi-finals took place on June 14, except for the 400m hurdles. A number of athletes did not make the top-4 in the trials, but were nevertheless selected because of their consistency in previous competition, showing a far greater flexibility of approach than was to be seen after World War II. The principal athletes who benefited were: Loren Murchison, Leroy Brown, John Watters, Alan Helffrich, George Lermond, Alfred LeConey, William Comins, Ernest Oberst and Pat McDonald. The New York Times noted that there were 419 entries, compared with 259 in 1920. Timing was with 1/10th and 1/5th of a second watches. Times are shown in tenths of a second for uniformity of presentation. The venue was efficiently served by the Boston Elevated Railway, which enabled large crowds to quickly get to and from the stadium. 100 Meters 15.20 Hr 1. 1. Chester Bowman (Syracuse) 10.6 2=. 3.

JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN MEDICAL ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION Volume 29, Number 3 Fall/Winter 2016 A Tough Challenge Ahead FOUNDER Ronald M.

Schulman, MD, Immediate Past-President non-profit organization at the Boston Marathon. It was a blow to the organization financially Douglas J. Casa, PhD, ATC, FACSM and a loss to the many past and current members who have run and volunteered at many S. Mark Courtney, PA-C Boston Marathons. Mark Cucuzzella, MD, FAAP Ronald S. Dubin, MD Here is the best explanation of the recent events. Each summer we submit a request to be a Ronald M. Lawrence, MD, PhD, charity partner with the BAA. It is never a sure thing in event fundraising or revenue production Member Emeritus when you do not control the event or source of income. It was always our goal to show the BAA Noel D. Nequin, MD, FACSM, FAACVPR, that AMAA, its members, and our events at the Boston Marathon added value to the BAA and its Member Emeritus COL Francis G. O’Connor, MD, FACSM marathon. We never took it for granted. Yet, in June of this year, we found out we would have Chris Troyanos, ATC to compete with other nonprofits to be an “official charity” of the Boston Marathon in order to HONORARY DIRECTORS receive “invitational entries” to raise funds at the marathon.
