I can just imagine how excited these people were to attend the first Olympic games after the war, 12 years after the last Olympics had been held. For many of them, it was a sign of things REALLY returning back to the normal, especially in England, where rationing was still in effect and bomb damage was still evident. Interesting that in this film footage, there is no reference to the war. It's like everyone wanted to forget that it ever happened!
Harold Abrahms should have been honoured and of course the memory of Eric Liddle. just myopinion, Met Harold Abrahms before he died what a fine gentleman
Fue cuando los juegos olímpicos regresaron doce años después y dos años después de haber finalizado la segunda guerra mundial, Londres lo organizó por segunda vez
Lástima que no pusieron la carrera madre, la del cierre, la maratón de 42.195, kms, pero claro, como la ganó un argentino y venció a un inglés, no figuró, una pena.-
