The Olympic Dictionary 64 FAGGIN LEANDRO The Olympic Dictionary F FAGGIN LEANDRO (cycling, Italy, b. Padua 18/7/1933, d. Padua 6/12/1970). One Olympic appearance (1956) and 2 gold medals (1 km standing start and team pursuit). He arrived in Melbourne with bronchitis, and risked being replaced in the pursuit team: in fact he led the team to the gold medal, beating France in the final. His team mates: Valentino Gasparella (q.v.), Antonio Domenicali (q.v.) and Franco Gandini (q.v.), plus Virgilio Pizzali in the heats. Two days later he won the 1 km standing start: he completed the first lap in 25.3, ended the second at 46.7 and finished in 1:09.8, just 6 tenths above his world record (set 3 months earlier at the Vigorelli velodrome, with one corner less) and 1.6 less than Czech Foucek. He had tears in his eyes when the Duke of Edinburgh congratulated him, and he also received the compliments of the Australian Mockridge, who had won the same race four years earlier and, present at Melbourne as a journalist, had forecast Faggin’s victory in an article in his paper. In 1954, Faggin had been Italian and world champion in pursuit, and Italian champion in the kilometre; in 1955 he came third in the World Championships, and then second in 1956. After having become a professional, he won 3 World Championship gold medals for pursuit (1963-65-66), plus 3 silver and 3 bronze medals, and 12 consecutive Italian titles (from 1957 to 1968), as well as one in the omnium. He set world records for the km (1:09.2) and the 5 km (6:15.4) as an amateur, and for the 5 km (6:06.4, then 6:02.4) as a professional. He also won 9 “Six Day” events. He died of cancer at the age of just 37. FAMILIES The Hungarian Gyarmati family is the most successful family in the history of the Olympics. Dezsö Gyarmati (q.v.) won 3 gold medals, one silver and one bronze in water polo from 1948 to 1964; his wife Eva Székely, breaststroke swimmer, won a gold and a silver in 1952 and 1956; their daughter Andrea won one silver and one bronze in 1972 for swimming, backstroke and butterfly; she married Mihaly Hesz, who won one gold and one silver in 1964 and 1968 in canoeing. Also remarkable was the Norwegian Lunde family: Eugen began with a gold medal for sailing in 1924; his son Peder Eugen, wife Vibeke and her brother Börre Falkum-Hansen won a silver, also for sailing, in 1952. Lastly, Peder jr, Eugen’s grandson, won a gold medal in the Flying Dutchman class in 1960, and silver in the 1968 Star class: he married Aud Hvammen, who took part in two Alpine skiing events at the 1964 and 1968 Games. FASTER HIGHER STRONGER See Olympic motto. FENCING Is one of the five sports that has always been included in the programme of all modern Olympics. Fencing is regulated by FIE (Fédération Internationale d’Escrime – www.fie.ch). Cf. Sports, Section IV. FERGUSON IAN GORDON (canoeing, New Zealand, b. Taumarunui 20/7/1952). Five appearances (1976, 1980, 1984, 1988, 1992), 4 gold medals (K1 500 m 1984, K2 500 m 1984 and 1988, K4 1000 m 984) and one silver (K2 1000 1988). 1984 3-0-0, 1988 1-1-0. After two Olympiads without any medals (in 1980 he reached the final in the K1 500 m and K1 1000 m, but finished 7th and 8th respectively), he retired for two years: he sold and repaired videogame machines. He returned to competition when the New Zealand Federation offered him financial support. After a World Championships silver medal in 1983, he won 3 gold medals at Los Angeles, a gold and a silver at Seoul, and he reached the K2 1000 m final in Barcelona, at the age of 40, finishing 8th. In the World Championships, he won 2 gold medals (K2 500 m in 1985, K2 1000 m in 64 The Olympic Dictionary 1987, with Paul MacDonald) and 3 silvers. He was also a great surfer: he won 4 titles in the Ironman, 4 in the “surf ski race” and 4 gold medals at the 1991 World Master Championships. His son Steve took part in the 2000 Olympics in swimming, and in the 2004 Games in canoeing: in the latter sport, he attained a 4th place in the 1000 m K2 in the 2003 World Championships, with Ben Fouhy, who, also trained by Ian Ferguson, won the gold medal in the K1 1000 m. FERNANDEZ LISA (softball, USA, b. New York City, New York, 22/2/1971). Three appearances (1996, 2000, 2004) and 3 gold medals (1996, 2000, 2004). 1996 1-0-0, 2000 1-0-0, 2004 1-0-0. Cuban father, Puerto Rican mother. She began playing at the age of 8. She was 12 when a coach told her that, given her build, she could not be a pitcher: but it was in that position that she became one of the best players ever. In 1996 she came close to the “perfect game” (never seen at the Olympics) conceding just a home run to the Australian Joanne Brown at the last pitch of the 10th innings; she then achieved 7, of which 5 consecutive, in the tour before the 2000 Games, and in Sydney she set a record of 25 strikeouts against Australia in the preliminary league. This did not prevent the USA from losing their third match in a row, following those against Japan and China, but Japan, China and Australia were then beaten as the USA progressed towards their second consecutive gold medal, and in Athens, 2004, they won their third. Fernandez also won 4 World Championship gold medals (1990-94-98-2002), and 2 college titles with UCLA (1990-92). Elected best American player for three years running, in 1991-92-93, in 1993 she also won the best all sports college athlete prize: the first time that a softball player won the award. FIEDLER JENS (cycling, Germany, b. Dohna, former East Germany, 15/2/1970). Four appearances (1992, 1996, 2000, 2004), 3 gold medals (individual time-trial 1992 and 1996, team time-trial 4000 m 2004) and 2 bronze medals (individual time-trial and Keirin 2000). 1992 1-0-0, 1996 1-0-0, 2000 0-0-2, 2004 1-0-0. World Champion in 1991, he won his first Olympic gold medal the following year in Barcelona, beating Neiwand by 5 centimetres in the first sprint of the final, and benefiting from the disqualification of the Australian who beat him in the second final. Though in the following years he never did better than 4th place in the World Championships, at Atlanta in the semi-finals he once again beat Neiwand, and then in the final (again in 2 sprints, winning the first by just a centimetre) he beat the American Nothstein; these two cyclists had won the World Championship gold in 1993 and 1994 respectively. In Sydney he was unable to complete a hat-trick, because he was defeated by Nothstein in the semi-final, but he won his third gold in Athens, where the team time-trial was held for the first time at the Games. In World Championship competitions, he won 5 golds (individual time-trial 1991, team time-trial 1995-2003, Keirin 1998- 99), 5 silver and 3 bronze medals. He was found positive in a doping test (amphetamines) in one of his last races before retiring, in Manchester, 2005: “A tragedy, an absurdity, due to pharmacological treatment. I have been tested at least 200 times over the course of my career, and I have never been found positive”. FIELD HOCKEY The federation that regulates it is the FIH (Fédération Internationale de Hockey, www.fihockey.org). It first appeared as an Olympic sport in London, 1908 and was disputed in 1920, even though up until 1928 it was not always included in the programme of the Games. Women’s field hockey was first included in the 1980 Olympiad. Cf. Sports, section IV. FIELDS JOHN “JACKIE” (boxing, USA, b. Chicago, Illinois, 9/2/1908, d. Los Angeles, California, 3/6/1987). One appearance (1924) and one gold medal (featherweight >57,15 kg). Born as Jacob Finkelstein in Chicago’s Jewish ghetto (“And there you had to know how to fight”), he began boxing at the age of 14, in Los Angeles, where his family had moved when his father contracted tuberculosis, and he changed his surname for the ring (there are three versions: he took his new name from a Chicago shop, or from another boxer, or from his coach). At Antwerp he became the youngest boxer ever to win an Olympic gold medal, at 16 years and 162 days, beating 65 The Olympic Dictionary his friend Joseph Salas, two years older than him, in the final. Salas told what happened just before the match. “We got ready in the same changing room. When they knocked to call us onto the ring, we embraced and started to cry. Ten minutes later, we were knocking the hell out of each other in the ring”. In March 1929 Fields became NBA welterweight world champion beating Young Jack Thompson on points in ten rounds. A month later he was given the unified title because Joe Dundee’s title was declared as having expired, and in July Field confirmed the title by beating Dundee himself (disqualified, 2). The next year he lost the title against Thompson (points, 15) and won it back in 1932 against Lou Brouillard (points, 10).

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.

  • 5 China Dreaming
    5 China Dreaming Representing the Perfect Present, Anticipating the Rosy Future Stefan Landsberger Abstract As China has developed into a relatively well-offf, increasingly urbanized nation, educating the people has become more urgent than ever. Rais- ing (human) quality (素质) has become a major concern for educators and intellectuals who see moral education as a major task of the state. The visual exhortations in public spaces aimed at moral education are dominated by dreaming about a nation that has risen and needs to be taken seriously. The visualization of these dreams resembles commercial advertising, mixing elements like the Great Wall or the Tiananmen Gate building with modern or futuristic images. This chapter focuses on posters, looking at the changes in contents and representation of government visuals in an increasingly urbanized and media-literate society. Keywords: visual propaganda; governmentality; normative propaganda; Chinese Dream; Beijing Olympics 2008 Sometimes one still encounters hand-painted faded slogans in the coun- tryside urging those working in agriculture to learn from Dazhai, or to energetically study Mao Zedong Thought. By and large, political messages and the images they use have disappeared from Chinese public spaces, in particular in urban areas. Yet, the production of these images, of what we would call propaganda, has not stopped; the government remains com- mitted to educating the people, as it has over the millennia. Compared to the fijirst three decades of the People’s Republic, the messages have shifted to moral and normative topics, and their visualization has become much more sophisticated than in the earlier periods. This is partly because they Valjakka, Minna & Wang, Meiqin (eds.), Visual Arts, Representations and Interventions in Contemporary China: Urbanized Interface.

  • Swimming United in Four-Year Plan for Tokyo 2020
    Swimming united in four-year plan for Tokyo 2020 Swimming in Australia has a proud and rich record in the archives of Australia’s Olympic history. The Australian Dolphins Swim team have worked hard to be a team the nation is proud of and in victory and defeat they have supported each other. Swimming Australia President John Bertrand AO said the Dolphins had contributed greatly to Australian Sport. “The Australian Swim Team has always been so consistent as a high performing sport on the international stage. The Dolphins have a proud history and a strong reputation and I believe we can be even stronger,” Bertrand said. “What we know is the level of competition at the Rio Olympics will be surpassed at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. History tells us that. “So we are in the business of getting there faster than any other nation in the world. That was the focus of this review. What are the key lessons learned from Rio and how we apply them going forward.” The last four years has seen significant change as the sport re-built its culture and made significant progress, moving up the international ranks, ensuring the Dolphins are a team Australia can be proud of both in and out of the water. Swimming Australia CEO Mark Anderson said this post-Rio review process was about building on the progress that we had already made. “We can and will learn from our Rio experiences,” Anderson said. “We will build on the progress we have made and what was evident in Rio, both successes missed opportunities.
