  • War Vets Showed Athletic Prowess in Winter Olympics
    War Vets Showed Athletic Prowess in Winter Olympics Jan 31, 2014 By Kelly Gibson The Winter Olympics are relatively young, appearing on the sporting scene for the first time in 1924. As early as 1928, though, war veterans participated. Here are a few of the better- known Olympian-vets among them. (Vets of the 10th Mountain Division who skied in the Olympics and biathlon vets are covered in separate articles.) Eddie P.F. Eagan (1897-1967) b. Denver, Colo. Eagan served stateside with the Artillery Corps during WWI, from July 4 to Dec. 28, 1918. However, during WWII, he saw service in the China-Burma-India and European theaters with the Army’s Air Transport Command. He served as chief of special services from May 13, 1942 until Sept. 30, 1944. As the only American to win a gold medal at both the Summer and Winter Olympics, Eagan showed natural athletic talent growing up. He is best known for his success as a boxer, winning titles in middle and heavyweight competitions. In 1919, he won the heavyweight title in the U.S. amateur championships as Yale’s boxing captain. Eagan, attending Oxford as a Rhodes scholar, became the first American amateur boxing champion of Great Britain. In 1920, Eagan participated in the Summer Olympics in Antwerp, where he won a gold medal in the lightweight boxing division. Despite having no experience with a bobsled, Eagan was invited to join the four-man team participating in the 1932 Winter Olympics at Lake Placid, N.Y., along with fellow veteran Billy Fiske.

  • Fall 2006.Qxp:Fall 2006
    Official Publication of the: Volume 45 Number 3 Fall 2006 The American Connections with St. Paul’s REPRINTED WITH PERMISSION FROM “DOME”• THE MAGAZINE OF THE FRIENDS OF ST. PAUL’S CATHEDRAL (LONDON), EDITION 43 Lay Canon Peter Chapman reports on the cleaning and restoration of the American Memorial Chapel and the service which followed he American connections Twith St. Paul’s go back many years. There are two visible signs of these. The first is the Memo- rial in the Crypt to Pilot Officer Billy Fiske who died in the Bat - tle of Britain. Billy was the first American pilot to die in the Allied cause, having told the recruiting officer he was Canadian! The second, of course, is the Ameri - can Memorial Chapel at the east end of the cathedral, behind the High Altar. The Chapel was consecrated by Her Majesty The Queen in 1958 and commemorates the lives of 28,000 Americans who died in the Second World War whilst based in Britain. It hous - es the Roll of Honor which lists the names of all 28,000 service people and was presented to the Cathedral, for perpetual safe keeping, by General Eisenhower at a service held on 24 July 1951. The Chapel had not yet been com menced then but the money for it had been raised entirely from the British people. The story of these events is record - ed in a beautiful pamphlet on sale in the Crypt Shop. Cleaning and restoration Turning to the present, it was originally considered unneces- sary to have the Chapel cleaned and restored as part of the mar- vellous renovation of the in side of the Cathedral.

  • All Nations Together a Battle of Britain Resource
    All Nations Together A Battle of Britain resource This resource provides biographical content to supplement a Key Stage 3 student study into the Battle of Britain. It highlights the international profile of the Royal Air Force in 1940. As well as investigation into the political, strategic, tactical and technical aspects of the battle, no study is complete without reference to the human experience of the event. This was an early phase of the Second World War when the outcome hung upon the skills and courage of a small number of combatants and support staff. It may surprise students to learn that numbered among Churchill’s ‘Few’ were participants from many Allied nations. A study of the Battle fits into Key Stage 3 History in the following ways: • In the broad purpose of the study of history, as outlined in the National Curriculum: ‘History helps pupils to understand the complexity of people’s lives, the process of change, the diversity of societies and relationships between different groups, as well as their own identity and the challenges of their time.’ • One of the key aims for the teaching of KS3 history is to: ‘know and understand the history of these islands as a coherent, chronological narrative, from the earliest times to the present day: how people’s lives have shaped this nation and how Britain has influenced and been influenced by the wider world.’ • Amongst options for subject content is the unit: ‘challenges for Britain, Europe and the wider world 1901 to the present day … this could include: … the Second World War and the wartime leadership of Winston Churchill.’ The Battle of Britain, 10 July to 31 October 1940, was a large air battle fought between the German air force - the Luftwaffe - and the Royal Air Force of Great Britain.

Now, at last, we RICHMOND can fire up those engines and go racing, and so bring our motorsport season spectacularly back to life.

The live stream, and the ITV coverage, will be free to air and will take you right into the heart of the event with all the race action, interviews with the drivers and coverage of the new rally stages, the Shootout for the fastest lap of the circuit, and a sensational celebration of 70 years of Formula 1. SpeedWeek combines many of the best elements of the Members’ Meeting, the Festival of Speed and the Revival, plus some new and exciting content that will see the cars using parts of the circuit that are way beyond the track limits. The Shootout for fastest lap will see modern machinery on the circuit, something we’ve never been able to do before.

  • The Olympic Dictionary 56 EAGAN EDWARD
    The Olympic Dictionary E EAGAN EDWARD PATRICK FRANCIS “EDDIE” (boxing, USA, b. Denver, Colorado, 26/4/1898, d. Rye, New York, 14/6/1967). Two Olympic appearances (1920, 1924) and one gold medal (medium heavyweight 81 kg, 1920). The only athlete to win a gold medal in both the Summer and Winter Games. At Antwerp he beat South African Holdstock, British Franks, and, in the final, the Norwegian Sorsdal, taking the medium heavyweight medal. Four years later he moved up one category, but lost in the first round with British boxer Clifton (who had to withdraw after that very tough match). In 1932 he took part in the Winter Olympics at Lake Placid, winning the four-man bobsled with Billy Fiske, Clifford Grey and Jay O’Brien (an unlucky team: all except Eagan died between 1940 and 1941). He grew up in a poor family, and studied at Yale, Harvard and Oxford, becoming a successful lawyer. He lived according to the precepts of Frank Merriwell, a hero of popular novels set in Yale “with the body of Tarzan and the brain of Einstein”. In 1932 he wrote, “I have never smoked tobacco, because Frank doesn’t. I drank my only glass of wine in Europe: Frank never drinks”. EAST GERMANY 409 medals: 153 gold, 129 silver, 127 bronze. Best Olympics: Moscow 1980, with 47 gold, 37 silver and 42 bronze medals. Best sport: track & field, with 38 gold, 36 silver and 35 bronze medals. Most decorated athlete: Kristin Otto (q.v.), swimming, with 6 gold medals (50 freestyle, 100 freestyle, 100 backstroke, 100 butterfly, 4x100 freestyle, 4x100 medley in 1988).

  • 2014 Winter Olympic Competing Nations ALBANIA (ALB)
    2014 Winter Olympic Competing Nations We list below detailed historial Olympic information for every IOC Member Nation that has previously competed at the Olympic Winter Games and that will compete in Sochi, as of 27 January 2014. There appear to be 88 qualified NOCs that have met IF quota requirements as of 24 January, and have accepted them (the previous record for a Winter Olympics is 82 in 2010 at Vancouver). Unfortunately, after reallocation of some quotas, only the skiing federation (FIS) has published the final quotas as of 26 January. We have tried to list below the sports for which each NOC has qualified but there is a small chance, with reallocations, that there may be minor differences in the final allocation by sport. There are seven nations that will compete in Sochi that have never before competed at the Olympic Winter Games – Dominica, Malta, Paraguay, Timor-Leste (East Timor), Togo, Tonga, and Zimbabwe. Their factsheets have been published previously on olympstats.com – see http://olympstats.com/2014/01/23/new-winter-olympic-nations-for-sochi/, which came out on 23 January. One problem nation is listed below and that is DPR Korea (North). They have not qualified any athletes for Sochi. They had the 1st and 2nd reserves for pairs figure skating but those do not appear to have been chosen by final reallocation of quota sports by the International Skating Union (ISU). However, yesterday (26 January), DPR Korea has petitioned the IOC for redress to allow them to have Olympic athletes compete in Sochi. So they are included below but it is unknown if they will compete.
