You will also find the standings of the first three places in all events for men and women at the Olympic Games followed by several classifications which are listed either by the number of titles or medals by swimmer or National Federation. It should be noted that these standings only have an historical aim but no sport signification because the comparison between the achievements of swimmers of different generations is always unfair for several reasons: 1. The period of time. The Olympic Games were not organised in 1916, 1940 and 1944 2. The evolution of the programme.

    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.

  • AQUATIC HAWAII in the OLYMPIC GAMES by Edwin North Mcclellan the Tum Ult Over the Olympic Games of 1952 Has Faded Away
    AQUATIC HAWAII IN THE OLYMPIC GAMES By Edwin North McClellan The tum ult over the Olympic Games of 1952 has faded away. At Helsinki, Fin­ land, swimmers of Hawaii surpassed the performances of the swimmers of any of the forty-eight States; but I rate our 1952-Hawaiian-Team behind 1920 and 1924 in that order. The ten World-Champions from Hawaii, who have won first-place Olympic gold-medals, form a very exclusive and distinguished group—Duke Paoa Kahanamoku, Warren Kealoha, Pua Kealoha (relay), Mariechen Wehselau (relay), Clarence “Buster” Crabbe, Bill Smith, Thelma Kalama (relay), Ford Konno, Yo- shinobu Oyakawa, and Bill Woolsey (relay). All these ten swimmers, as well as others of Hawaii who have scored points in the Olympics, have been nominated as members of the Hawaiian-Aquatic-Hall-of-Fame. In the Forecast, October, 1950, 1 wrote that George "D ad” Center "is among the ‘first ten in the Hawaiian-Hall-of- Fame,’ ” and that Dad “shares with Duke Kahanamoku the honor of being the Outrigger Canoe Club’s ‘most honored member.’ ” The Outrigger Canoe Club, its aquatic athletes, coaches and other members, have performed a fine share of the work as Hawaii achieved its Olympic victories; but the Club and members have much important work in the coming four years.

The main purpose of this study is to analyse the training loads of a competitive marathoner, the Polish marathon record holder. The analysis is based on 2 mesocycles with a duration of 8 weeks of the preparatory phase, guided by two different coaches. Moreover, another crucial issue included in the study is the comparison of the training framework and training loads during particular weeks. Materials and methods. The practical implementation of the theory is provided with the use of research material from an Olympian, who is also the Polish marathon record holder, in the form of his workout logs. The content of the workout logs includes 2 marathon mesocycles, each with a duration of 8-week preparatory phases. Results. Analysis of the volume of training loads in the 8-week mesocycle shows diversity between the two studied marathon preparatory phases.
