  • George Blake Biography
    George Blake – Australia’s First Great Olympic Distance Runner By Andy Milroy George Blake was arguably the first great Australian distance runner. At the marathon, his sixth place in the 1906 Athens Olympics was not to be improved upon until Rob de Castella finished 5th at the Los Angeles Olympics of 1984. His 6th place also in the final of the 5 mile event in the 1906 Games, an event later superseded by the 10 000 metres, was not to be surpassed by an Australian until Alan Lawrence in 1956. In his running career, Blake was to face many of the top distance runners of his day and although he never achieved international victory, his results show he was a great competitor. After racing in Australia, the then greatest distance runner in the world, Englishman Alfred Shrubb, stated that he considered Blake the best long distance runner in the country. Perhaps like John Landy, Blake would have benefited from the greater competition in Europe, thus having a better prospect of reaching his true potential. But his running was rooted and grew in the harrier traditions of Victoria. In his two Olympic outings in his strongest event, the marathon, in the words of his team mate, Greg Wheatley, he suffered “real bad luck”. George Bernard Blake was born on the 4th September 1878 in St Kilda, a suburb of Melbourne, which during his childhood became a popular seaside entertainment centre for the working class of the city. His parents John Blake and Ellen Coen were Irish immigrants from County Galway in Ireland.

  • Australia and the Olympic Games Edwin Flack and the Marathon Focus
    Australia and the Olympic Games The First Games Athens 1896 Performances Edwin Flack and the Marathon Focus: Read the account of the Marathon and assess Flack’s attitude and performance. Was it in the spirit of the first modern Olympic Games? Why did Flack become a public hero? The irrepressible George Robertson, a man of charm and influence, had persuaded the ambassador to send along his personal butler, VW Delves‐Broughton,to be Flack’s aide. By great coincidence Delves‐Broughton was also an Old Boy of Melbourne Grammar, which he had attended during a period when his father was master of the Melbourne Mint. Fittingly, Flack wore his old school running vest: dark blue, with a white mitre on the chest.“ On the morning of the race, Thursday 9 April, a service was held at the Marathon church, during which special prayers were offered for a Greek victory and a number of runners took the sacrament. Around 2.00 p.m. a field of twenty‐five assembled at the start of the marathon, all but four of them Greeks; the foreigners were the placegetters in the 1500 ‐ Flack, Blake and Lermusiaux ‐ and the Hungarian Gyula Kellner. Under a blazing sun, lined up according to places drawn in a lottery, they endured a speech by the army major whose job it was to start the race; he took a long time to explain the rules about not taking short cuts or accepting lifts, and finally fired his pistol. Focusing just then on Flack, as the runners cantered away backed by an odd caravan of attendants, the image that comes to mind has a distinct Ripping Yarns flavour.
