  • Introduction
    introduCtion A misty rain fell on the spectators gathered at Wembley Stadium in London, England, but the crowd was still strong at 60,000. It was the final day of track and field competition for the XIV Olympiad. Dusk was quickly approaching, but the women’s high jump competition was still underway. Two athletes remained, an American by the name of Alice Coachman and the British, hometown favorite, Dorothy Tyler. With an Olympic gold medal on the line, both athletes seemed content to remain all night, if necessary, as they continued to match each other at height after height. But then at 5 ´6½˝, neither one cleared the bar. The audience waited in the darkening drizzle while the judges conferred to determine who would be crowned the new Olympic champion. Finally, the judges ruled that one of the two athletes had indeed edged out the other through fewer missed attempts on previous heights. Alice Coachman had just become the first African American woman to win an Olympic gold 1 medal. Her leap of 5 ´6 ⁄8˝ on that August evening in 1948 set new Olympic and American records for the women’s high jump. The win cul - minated a virtually unparalleled ten-year career in which she amassed an athletic record of thirty-six track and field national championships— twenty-six individual and ten team titles. From 1939, when she first won the national championship for the high jump at the age of sixteen, she never surrendered it; a new champion came only after her retirement at the conclusion of the Olympics.

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.

Two athletes won medals in Adi’s shoes: Germany’s Arthur Jonath and American Wilhelmina von Bremen both clinched gold in their respective 100m finals. 1936 Berlin Jesse Owens As politics and sport collided in Berlin, Adi Dassler remained focused on making the best footwear products for athletes including James Cleveland “Jesse” Owens. The young American was the most successful athlete in Berlin, winning four gold medals in front of Adolf Hitler in shoes that boasted specially positioned spikes and low-cut upper. 1948 London Emil Zátopek Post World War II the Olympic Games were seen as a way of reuniting the world through athletic competition and the spirit of true sportsmanship. In a glimpse of things to come, Emil Zátopek, the young “Czech Locomotive”, ran to Gold in the 10,000m and Silver in the 5,000m wearing Dassler’s lightweight shoes. In the same year, “adidas” was registered as the brand with the three stripes. 1952 Helsinki Bob Mathias In one of the greatest performances of all time, Emil Zátopek pulled off an incredible triple at the Helsinki Olympic Games winning Gold in the 5,000m, 10,000m, and the marathon over the course of seven days.

    • •/ A ot if** M Number 3 & 4 December 1969 Volume 8 DUPLICATING WITHOUT MAKING CARBON COPIES - Hal Wasserman - One of the fascinating features about stamp collecting is that a collector may collect whatever interests him. No matter what the catalogue may include or not in­ clude there is no law that says what the collector must have in his album. It is his own possession to build and expand as he chooses. It is only when the collector wishes to exhibit for competition that certain maxims come into play; then the collector loses some of the freedom he had before. Yet exhibiting need not enjoin a collector from remaining individualistic in his approach, nor does his collection have to be a carbon copy of other similar exhibita This is especially noticeable when viewing exhibits of Olympic Games stamps. Excluding the early Greek Olympic stamps, a collector would not find it too difficult or too expensive to put together a 'complete* collection of the basic stamps. How, then, can an enthusiast put his individual touch on his own exhibit except through a different type of mounting? In my opinion, there are enough unusual items on the philatelic marketplace that a collector could add for nearly every Olympiad, some expensive but many rather nominal in price, that would add sparkle to an exhibit. All of the items mentioned below are listed in various books and guides, in­ cluding Ira Seeoacher's Handbook of Sports Stamps. However, I would like to point out some of these that seem to be overlooked in many of the exhibits.
