The event described as Military Pentathlon is actually called Modern Pentathlon. Military Pentathlon is a different event, not included in the Olympic Games. Also the Modern Pentathlon, though often dominated by military men, was open to civilians as well. The winner in Helsinki, Lars Hall of Sweden, was a carpenter.
@@ingridlinbohm7682 Finland is actually a nordic country... Scandinavian countries (the two in the Scandinavian peninsula and Denmark) are grouped together as Scandinavian because of their common root language group. Finnish does not come from that group.
Only a part of the nortern Finland is In scandinavia and finnish language is finno ugric and not indo european. Finland is a nordic country but its not scandinavian. Im a finn myself so i know. I hope this cleared everything that you may be unsure about. Have a good rest of the day
What a biased video. One would think only the US won anything. Emil Zatopek of Czechslovakia won 3 gold in athletics, Marjorie Jackson of Australia won 2 in the short hurdles, Yvette Williams of NZ won the long jump, Josey Barthel of Luxemburg won the 1500M

I heard that he says 1924,well,wrong anyway,and that he won 6 gold medal on olympics?He won 9 gold and 3 silver.
Americans were well fed.. food rationing weakened the rest...
Finland isn't a scandinavian country
And you're not a smart person.
@@Migozzi1 they are often grouped as one but if I am not wrong they are officially not a scandinavian country.
Finland is counted by some people as a Scandinavian country but not a nordic one.
