There he was stopped in the second round of the light heavyweight division by Germany’s Torsten May.

ellauri249.html on line 94: The international community imposed numerous sanctions and embargoes against the Soviet Union, and the U.S. led a boycott of the 1980 Summer Olympics held in Moscow. The boycott and sanctions exacerbated Cold War tensions and enraged the Soviet government, which later led a revenge boycott of the 1984 Olympics held in Los Angeles.

He completed the men's 110 metres hurdles at the 1952 Summer Olympics. Suomalaisten Onnela oli Dar Es Salaamissa. Siellä suomalaiset miehet nussi mustia jotka olivat kuin lapsinaisia. Laiskat lakukepit lahjottiin viinapulloilla. Koillis-Suomen luostarit oli Lönnrotin käydessä pikemminkin rosvopesiä, viinaa tinkasivat. Kylät täynnä porovarkaita. Pelkkää roskajoukkoa. Sanoivat kuin ritarit Monty Pythonissa: Ni ni, se on meillä tapana.
ellauri370.html on line 185: In addition, contrary to claims that he was an environmentalist, Jackson was almost as much a "whore for logging companies" as for Boeing, according Carsten Lien's book Olympic Battleground. After his death, critics pointed to Jackson's support for Japanese American internment camps during World War II as a reason to protest the placement of his bust at the University of Washington. Jackson was both an enthusiastic defender of the evacuation and a staunch proponent of the campaign to keep the Japanese-Americans from returning to the Pacific Coast after the war. Jackson died at 71. Jackson's death was greatly mourned. Jackson was proof of the old belief in the Judaic tradition that at any moment in history goodness in the world (olam) is preserved (tikkum) by the deeds of 36 just men who do not know that this is the role the Lord has given them. Scoop Jackson was one of those men.

Both women then competed in the February 1994 Winter Olympics, where Kerrigan won the silver medal and Harding finished eighth.

He had two sisters: Salme Kyllikki (b. 1920) and Kaija Iris (b. 1922). An athletic youth, Törni was an early friend of future Olympic Boxing Gold Medalist Sten Suvio.

xxx/ellauri380.html on line 205: Fairbanks piti tätä elokuviensa suosikkina poikansa mukaan. Siinä on paljon samaa kuin Monty Pythonin skezissä Olympics for Upper-class Twits ja kikkailevassa Juha Koistisessa. Mielikuvituksellinen voimistelu sopi urheilutähdelle, jonka "kissanomaiset, näennäisen vaivaton" liikkeet olivat yhtä paljon tanssia kuin voimistelua. Yhdessä hänen aikaisemman Robin Hoodin (1922) kanssa elokuva merkitsi Fairbanksin muutosta nerokkaasta komediasta uraksi "swashbuckler" rooleissa. Elokuva, joka on vahva erikoistehosteissa (lentävä matto, taikaköysi ja pelottavat hirviöt) ja sisältää massiivisia arabialaistyylisiä lavasteita, osoittautui myös ponnahduslautaksi Anna May Wongille, joka esitti petollista mongolien orjaa. Sellaisia viirusilmät ovat.
