1. The incident is the infamous 'officials helping' Dorando Pietry of Italy in the end of the Marathon event in the 1908 London Olympics. His gold was taken away as rules implied that due the officials help, he won.
2. Both these athletes had very similar nicknames. Paavo Nurmi was the original 'Flying Finn', and Milkha Singh was nicknamed 'Flying Sikh'. - At July 26, 2008 at 8:36 PM i_r_squared said...
