The Amateur Athletic Foundation is itself the legacy of the 1984 Olympic Games. The Foundation is dedicated to expanding the understanding of sport in our communities. As a part of our effort, we have joined with the Southern California Olympians, an organization of over 1,000 women and men who have participated on Olympic teams, to develop an oral history of these distinguished athletes. Many Olympians who competed in the Games prior to World War II agreed to share their Olympic experiences in their own words. In the pages that follow, you will learn about these athletes, and their experiences in the Games and in life as a result of being a part of the Olympic Family. The Amateur Athletic Foundation, its Board of Directors, and staff welcome you to use this document to enhance your understanding of sport in our community. ANITA L.

The list of stadium records at Cobb Track and Angell Field is second to none. In addition, Cobb Track and Angell Field was the site of the 2002 and 2003 U.S. National and Junior National Championships, that featured track and field stars Marion Jones, Maurice Greene, Gail Devers, Allen Johnson and Adam Nelson. At the 2004 Cardinal Track and Field Invitational, 15 Olympic A-standards were achieved, including a track record by the great Sonia O’Sullivan of Ireland. Stanford’s Cobb Track and Angell Field has become the epicen- ter of track and field in the United States. Upon its renewed inception in 1996, former Director of Track and Field Vin Lananna stated, “The newly renovated Cobb Track and Angell Field is a wonderful homecoming for Stanford Track and Field. This restored facility makes it possible for Stanford to host top quality, national and international meets and provides a more intimate setting for the fans and a more visible location within the Stanford community. It is a tremendous step forward for our program, Stanford Athletics and the track and field world as a whole.” Cobb Track and Angell Field is the home of Stanford Track and Field. Through the dedicated efforts of many people, including Chuck Cobb, Otis Chandler and Pitch Johnson, Stanford’s dream for a state-of-the-art track and field facility has become a reality.

  • Athletics and Olympism
    For the first time in the history of sport, the first Athletics World Championships will take place in Helsinki (FIN) from 7th to 14th August 1983. The cream of international athletes will meet in the Finnish capital, which, as we all remember, successfully hosted the Games of the XVllnd Olympiad from 19th July to 3rd August 1952. In honour of this occasion, the “Olympic Review” is devoting a new section to the history of International Federations. Naturally, we give pride of place in this new series to Athletics, the “star” of the Olympic Games. 467 Message from the President of the IAAF I believe that Helsinki and its stadium, the temple of athletics which hosted the wonderful Olympic Games in 1952, will draw the attention of world sport next August on the occasion of the First World Championships in athletics. This competition, in which a record number of countries will participate, shall surely be a festival of youth and a technical, organising and promotional feat of extraordinary proportions. Within the Championships programme, the meeting between the IAAF Council and the Executive Board of the International Olympic Committee should also be mentioned. This meeting, which repre- sents an historical moment in international sport relationships, will surely provide positive contributions to sport development and to the solution to those problems which need the support and harmony of all the vital components of the Olympic Movement.

' ' TRACK AND FIELD ATHLETICS — MEN HREE hundred and thirty men, representing thirty-four nations, took part in the twenty-three events comprising the Athletics programme of the TGames of the Xth Olympiad. When the hnal event was concluded and the champion stood at attention on the Victory pedestal while the flag of his country was unfurled over Olympic Stadium, twenty new Olympic or World's records had been established. The responsibility for the many record-breaking performances has been generally attributed to a combination of circumstances, including the fine mental and physical condition of the athletes due to pleasant surroundings in the Olympic Village, the adequate training facilities, favorable weather conditions, excellent Track and Field facilities, and to the enthusiastic and sportsmanlike attitude of the spectators. In addition, the quality of performance of the athletes was improved because many of the tiring preliminary heats could be eliminated. This was made pos­ sible, first, by the ruling of the Olympic Congress, Berlin, 1930, reducing the number of entries in each sport from each country from four to three, and second, by the factor of the expense and time involved in making the long trip to Los 377 Source : Bibliothèque du CIO / IOC Library TRACK AND FIELD ATHLETICS—^MEN XTH OLYMPIAD LOS ANGELES 1932 Angeles, which resulted in the teams representing the nations being limited and The existing Olympic record of 21.6 seconds for the 200 Metres was beaten necessarily more carefully selected. on seven different occasions by the winners of heats or finals, in many of these All of the events in Athletics, with the exception of the Marathon and the races the men finishing second, and sometimes third, also surpassing the previous mark.
