    Stumble inland is a small country of around 5 ½ million people, about the population of the state of Minnesota. The country has pro- duced one notable musician, Jean Sibelius,1 and one global F 2 th company in Nokia. But in the first half of the 20 century, Finland was best known for producing world-class distance runners. Be- tween 1912 and 1940, five Finns held world records and won multiple Olympic gold medals. Hannes Kolehmainen took three gold medals at the 1912 Olympics in Stockholm, Ville Ritola won four gold medals in the 1924 Games in Paris, Volmari Iso-Hollo won gold medals in both the 1932 Los Angeles Olympics and the 1936 Berlin Games, Taisto Mäki held two world records when the 1940 Olympics in Helsinski were canceled due to war. Most famous of all was Paavo Nurmi, winner of three gold medals at the 1920 Olympics in Belgium and another five gold medals at the 1924 Paris Olympiad. The “Flying Finns” dominated the running world between the wars. Myrskylä is a rural village about 50 miles north of Helsinki. Finland’s top runner in the 1950s, Rolf Haikkola, was from that village, and after retiring from world-class racing, he coached the children in his hometown. One boy, in particular, showed promise, setting national records for under-18 in 3,000- and 5,000-meters. But he didn’t train seriously: for every race he’d win he would finish in the rear in the next one. Following a year of military 1 Let’s say two, and include Esa-Pekka Salonen.

  • Paavo Nurmi's Posthumous Doping Case
    scandinavian sport studies forum issn 2000-088x volume two, 2011, 119–136 © erkki vettenniemi 2011 www.sportstudies.org Paavo Nurmi’s Posthumous Doping Case An Essay on Drugs, Money, and the Vagaries of Sports Journalism Erkki Vettenniemi Department of History and Ethnology, University of Jyväskylä <[email protected]> Abstract In the early 1930s, the Finnish long-distance runner Paavo Nurmi endorsed a medi- cal substance that allegedly enhanced athletic performance. Sixty years later, one such endorsement was discovered and, in a rather sensationalist manner, interpreted by a Swedish newspaper as an infringement of anti-doping rules. The scoop triggered a brief war of words between Finland and Sweden. My article explores the two incidents that, taken together, testify to the alarmingly anachronistic nature of today’s dominant dop- ing discourses. What was once an innocuous drug experiment or an advertisement of a non-controversial pharmaceutical can suddenly be construed as a form of cheating. In a further ironic twist, Nurmi’s purported drug of choice appears to have worked only as a placebo, and according to a contemporary source, it had been enough for the Finn to get paid for the endorsement without so much as touching the concoction. Yet although the nine-time Olympic champion merely violated the outdated amateur rules, his reputation can probably never fully recover from the posthumous drug slur that has been uncriti- cally disseminated for two decades. Key words: Paavo Nurmi, doping, testosterone, amateurism, sports journalism, media frenzy, running history 119 ERKKI VETTENNIEMI Introduction to a blame game When six Finnish skiers failed their doping control tests at the Nordic World Ski Championships in 2001, observers in the neighboring coun- tries had an irresistible opportunity to indulge in the art of Schaden- freude.

Llewellyn ©2010 Matthew P. Llewellyn Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy May 2010 The dissertation of Matthew P. Llewellyn was reviewed and approved* by the following: Mark S. Dyreson Associate Professor of Kinesiology Dissertation Adviser Chair of Committee R. Scott Kretchmar Professor of Kinesiology James Thompson Professor Emeritus of Kinesiology Garry Chick Professor of Recreation, Park and Tourism Management Martin Polley Senior Lecturer of Sport History University of Southampton, UK Special Member Karl M. Newell Professor of Kinesiology Head of Department of Kinesiology *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School ii Abstract As the cradle of modern sport, Britain‘s rich sporting history contributed significantly to the nation‘s identity both at home and abroad. Through their governance and control of leading bureaucratic organizations and clubs, the British established and maintained a position of leadership both on and off the field. Britain‘s early sporting dominance, coupled with the use of sport as medium for shaping the abilities, values and character of a British governing class, cultivated a belief that sport played a crucial role in the acquisition and consolidation of British hegemonic power. After an initial period of unrivalled dominance, Britain‘s monopolistic position as leader of modern sport eventually came under serious assault. Britain‘s historical sporting supremacy—similar to her imperial and economic power in general—was relative, not absolute; a position predicated more on the weaknesses of her opponents rather than her own strengths.

Colonial Korea and the Olympic Games, 1910–1945 Abstract This dissertation examines how Koreans received and consumed the Olympic Games under Japanese colonial rule (1910–1945). Although a growing body of research on colonial Korea addresses a range of topics beyond politics and economy, sports is still a relatively neglected topic in this field. By exploring Olympic fever in colonial Korea, this study shows how multifaceted aspects of Korean society became a part of the global sports world. Korean athletes participated in the 1932 Summer, 1936 Winter, and 1936 Summer Games as part of the Japanese delegation, attracting much attention from members of all walks of life in colonial Korea. Public figures as varied as political leaders, intellectuals, sport journalists, and athletes recognized and promoted the Games through the burgeoning mass media. As the Olympic Games were a powerful tool for promoting Korean nationalism, Korean athletes’ performance was in the spotlight of Korean vernacular media, which also pursued commercial interests in featuring scandals of athletes. Nevertheless, many advocates of public gymnastics criticized what they perceived as the bourgeois-oriented, if not elitist, nature of the Games.
