Another attempt to congratulate the winners.Today is March 25 Happy birthday to 3 Olympic champions. Their total age of 224.
At three they won four Gold medals. One of them has three Silver and one Silver one. All 8 medals are personal. One of them made a golden double on the same Olympics, and two others have won in the same two events on two Olympics. Between the first and last victory of the distance of a one hundred years. One of these athletes set a world record for 10 years before became the Olympic champion and the other for one year. Two athletes won in WC on two times each. Call names of these athletes.
Re: Another attempt to congratulate the winners.Sounds as if one of your three athletes is an old-timer. I'm guessing he would have been in the 1896, 1900, or 1904 Olympics. Are these three field event athletes? I believe I know one of them because I know she was born in late March. Am I correct that she won her event the first time it appeared in the World Championships and the Olympic Games?
Re: Another attempt to congratulate the winners.Yes, one old-timer (distance 100 years).
All athletes competed in two field events. Sorry for the delay, but my time zone GMT+4(Mineral City, Ohio GMT-4).
Re: Another attempt to congratulate the winners.I'll have to go with Stacy Dragila (I knew she was born in March) and Stefka Kostadinova because I saw her world record in Rome, her other world championship gold in Sweden, and her Olympic gold medal in Georgia. The old-timer might be the vertical jumper, Irving Baxter. He won both the high jump and pole vault in Paris (1900). I'm not sure if these total 224 years, but it must be close.
Re: Another attempt to congratulate the winners.All absolutely true. Good job DoublerBar!
. Yes, it really Irv Baxter, who won five medals at one Olympics. He made a golden double in the classical HJ & PV and was second in three standing jumps. The second athlete is a great high jumper - Stefka Kostadinova. The title of Olympic champion, she was able to win in her third Olympics in 1996. In 1988 she was Silver. His first world record she set in 1986, and a third in 1987. This record is not beaten yet. 7 times won the WC / WIC, 10 times WBest, 6 times World Ranking First. Of course this is the third athlete Stacy Dragila. Olympic gold, three WC/WIC titles, 14 WR - a great success! Now we can tell them a Happy birthday! How about previous jubilarians? viewtopic.php?f=5&t=46316 Last edited by gennady on Mon Mar 26, 2012 8:18 am, edited 2 times in total.
Re: Another attempt to congratulate the winners.I think I would need additional clues for that one.

Re: Another attempt to congratulate the winners.Sorry DoubleRBar.
Now in Moscow nearly 2 am and I'm going to bed. All of my answer tomorrow. Your next mystery.
Re: Another attempt to congratulate the winners.You gave it away with the 19 gold medals and he is number 10, however I don't believe William Porter won a silver medal in the Olympics. The 19 gold medals sounds like the 110 hurdles. I'm not sure about the other two.
Re: Another attempt to congratulate the winners.Indeed, the tenth gold medal from 19 for the U.S. in 110H won Bill Porter in 1948.
In the semi-finals and finals, he established the OR - 14.1 and 13.9. There is another event in which American athletes won 19 times, but the 10th winner of the repeated and set total of four ORs.
Re: Another attempt to congratulate the winners.But I'm pretty sure Jesse Owens was born in September.
Re: Another attempt to congratulate the winners.
There are 22 U.S. Olympic champion titles in LJ and Jesse Owens, 10th of them. I did not write that second 10th of 19 was born in March. PS Plus JJK = 23 total. Thus it turns that the Long Jumps is the most effective Olympic event for the United States.
