| Olympian Wins Medal 73 Years After His Death Australian middle-distance runner Edwin “Teddy” Flack won the first 800m run and the 1500m run at the inaugural 1896 Olympic Games which were held in Athens, Greece. The 21-year-old won the 800m in a time of 2:11.0 and the 1500m in 4:33.2. He ran the marathon, but collapsed with 4km to go. He also competed in singles and doubles tennis, losing a semi-final match along with teammate George S. Robertson of England. Since bronze medals weren’t awarded in 1896, and since the teammates represented different countries, somehow their 3rd place finish went unnoticed for more than a century. Read more... |
