Figures and/or pictures may be missing from this format of the document. *** Abstract: Shortly after he won three gold medals and one silver medal in distance running events at the 1912 Stockholm Olympics, Finland's Hannes Kolehmainen immigrated to the United States. He spent nearly a decade living in Brooklyn, plying his trade as a mason and dominating the amateur endurance running circuit in his adopted homeland. He became a naturalised US citizen in 1921 but returned to Finland shortly thereafter. During his American sojourn, the US press depicted him simultaneously as an exotic foreign athlete and as an immigrant shaped by his new environment into a symbol of successful assimilation. Kolehmainen's career raised questions about sport and national identity – both Finnish and American – about the complexities of immigration during the floodtide of European migration to the US, and about native and adopted cultures in shaping the habits of success.

    Cambridge - June 13-14

    1924 Cambridge - June 13-14 As in 1920, all finals were held on the second day except the walk, with heats on the first day, while all semi-finals took place on June 14, except for the 400m hurdles. A number of athletes did not make the top-4 in the trials, but were nevertheless selected because of their consistency in previous competition, showing a far greater flexibility of approach than was to be seen after World War II. The principal athletes who benefited were: Loren Murchison, Leroy Brown, John Watters, Alan Helffrich, George Lermond, Alfred LeConey, William Comins, Ernest Oberst and Pat McDonald. The New York Times noted that there were 419 entries, compared with 259 in 1920. Timing was with 1/10th and 1/5th of a second watches. Times are shown in tenths of a second for uniformity of presentation. The venue was efficiently served by the Boston Elevated Railway, which enabled large crowds to quickly get to and from the stadium. 100 Meters 15.20 Hr 1. 1. Chester Bowman (Syracuse) 10.6 2=. 3.

  • Matt Mcgrath

    Matt Mcgrath

    Excerpted from Champions of the Athletic Arena, by William Dooley. Published by General Publicity Service, Dublin, 1946. Transcribed by the Winged Fist Organization. Matt McGrath Matthew J. McGrath, through his mighty feats in American and Olympic arenas, proved himself one of the greatest weight throwers of all time. Born near the town of Nenagh in 1876, he departed for the United States while still in his ‘teens. As a youth in Tipperary he was known to walk ten miles to see “the father of modern hammermen,” John Flanagan, in action a Sports meeting, walk home again, and then immediately repair to a filed with an old-fashioned hammer, in an attempt to turn with it after the fashion of the Kilbreedy prodigy whom he had that day seen perform for the first time. A decade or more elapsed, however, before they rubbed shoulders on American soil in titanic struggles for supremacy. The charge has frequently been made that some of the more outstanding weight throwers have been reluctant to pass on their knowledge to promising exponents of the younger school. The famous Pat Ryan of Pallasgreen states that whatever “knack” he had in hammer throwing he gradually acquired himself; nobody told him about it, and he believes Flanagan did not tell McGrath. It may be that Matt was left largely to his own devices, to lode a few valuable years as a result, for he definitely was slow to reach proficiency – much slower than his great contemporaries, Flanagan, Con Walsh and Pat Ryan – and had reached the age of 32 before winning his first Championship of the U.S.A.

(2013) Britain and the Olympic Games 1908-1920: Perspectives on participation and identity. Ph.D. thesis, Canterbury Christ Church University. Contact: [email protected] Abstract Abstract This thesis examines Britain’s relationship with the Olympic Games between 1908 and 1920, a period which witnesses Britain’s first serious entrance into the Olympics and the development of the Olympic Games into the movement which it is today. This thesis uses the British media as the primary source to analyse and examine the development of the nation’s attitudes and identities towards the Olympics. The Games of this period, from London (1908), Stockholm (1912), Antwerp (1920), along with the preparations for the aborted 1916 Berlin Olympics are considered. The reaction to the British performance at each of the Olympics is the main focus of the research. There is also extensive examination into the periods in between the Games, as at this time the most plentiful discussion regarding the British approach appears, particularly that after the Stockholm Olympics.

I was curious as to where the complex got its name, and when I scratched the surface, I soon discovered that Celtic Park had an incredibly rich and almost completely forgotten history, and that it was once the home of a world-renown group of athletes called the Irish-American Athletic Club, also known as the Winged Fists of Celtic Park. As a result of my research, I have since become the founder and executive director of a non-profit historical society called the Winged Fist Organization, which is dedicated to preserving the legacy of the Irish-American Athletic Club.
