Bob Richards was THE spokesman for Wheaties well into the 60’s. He WAS the All American Boy.
He was a Great Leader
Alain Mimoun the greatest French runner of all time
I'm very impressed by the big digital screen/result board at 1:26. Didn't know they had that technology at the time. The letters and numbers were made up of matrix of dots. Presumably they used a computer at the time, which seems really early for 1956 for a sports competition. Or was it something different were everything was typed in manually somehow? (no sorting of places or the likes automatically).
All Olympic closing ceremonies should include the haunting Will Ye No Come Back Again...also, would love to have seen Kuts etc, with all the benefits of modern methods, running at Paris 24...
*5:24** No Salto com altura ainda em 1956 saltavam e caiam em queda livre ainda em cima de uma areia não é possível.*
Have you any footage of the introduction of synchronized swimming or the team at all? My mother, Evelyn Oremus, was on the team, and I never did get to see her swim.
the world was much happier before I feel
The world was still licking its wounds from recent events that were more horrible than you could possibly imagine.

I know the conditions and equipment are completely different, but little did those pole vaulters back in the 1950s know that by this millennium even girls would be jumping half a metre higher than them.
No, not quite 1/2 meter. The world record was 15' 7 3/4", or approx. 4.72m. The women's WR is 16' 7", 5.06m, so only 0.34m above the men's WR of 1942. However, little did they realize women would be vaulting, let alone above them.
...What are the girls coming down on?
Yeah, the equipment is completely different.
why is there almost no black athlete?
