the amazing Amerixcan Ray Ewry, winner of the standing high jump and standing long jump at the 1908 London Olympic Games. He collected a record total of 10 Olympic gold medals, although a number of the events he won are now deleted from the athletics program.
At the 1896 Athens inaugural modern Olympic Games, American Tom Burke (crouch start) won the 100 metres.
