- At the 1908 Olympics in London, Italian Dorando Pietri was leading the field in the marathon before he collapsed from exhaustion in the final metres. He received assistance from officials and was able to cross the finish line in first place . However, after a protest from second placed Johnny Hayes, he was later disqualified and the gold went to the American. Nevertheless, Pietri subsequently became an international celebrity, with Queen Alexandra awarding him a gilded silver cup for his efforts.

Strange to think that everyone in this footage is now deceased.
Why is it even a little bit strange that everyone in footage from 113 years ago would all be dead?
@@ongogablogian2975 ah ah ah ah ah
In case anyone is wondering, "DNF" stands for "Did Not Finish".
And "DNS" stands for "Did Not Start" (for some reason, that runner was scheduled to run but did not line up at the starting line).
There were 18(!) runners who DNS for this Marathon. Makes you wonder why not.
The ballad of Dorando and Johnny Hayes by Jez Lowe is well worth a listen 👍
there is a road in white city named after Pietri (Dorando close) also the finish line is still marked there too
nice, didn't know that
1:18 how came that final sprint?
Would be about time the olympic committee gave him back his gold considering they handed out a gold to Hicks in St.Louis in 1904 in similar conditions.
0:47 Looks like a scene in a Charlie Chaplin movie haha
Later on Pietri and Hayes would race each other head to head.. anyone find any video on those races? That'll be great to see
Pietri won both head to head
pretty incredible that three North American Indigenous athletes toed off at the marathon, Onondaga Haudenosaunee runner (and race favourite) Tom Longboat (who DNF'd unfortunately), Michi Saagig Anishinaabe Fred Simpson (who finished 6th place!!!!) and Hopi Lewis Tewanima (finished 9th!!!!).
Not unusual. The national championship college football team in 1912 was completely native Americans. Their star player, Jim Thorpe (birth name Wa-Tho-Huk, translated as "Bright Path,” a member of the Sac and Fox Nation), was an Olympic gold medalist and played professional baseball and football. He was the first president of the NFL. He was voted the greatest athlete of the first half of the 20th century, and there was little disagreement.
Watching bullshit at Oneida highschool right now
Another way the officials screwed Pietri, was when he entered the stadium. He should have turned right (counter- clockwise), but the officials steered him left.
It looked like the finish line tape was thrown out in an impromptu location rather than on the track itself as likely originally intended.
Can I know the name of the music accompanying the images of Dorando Pietri entering the White City Stadium till the end of the video ? Thank you
Dude I love the vibes
Fascinating
Pietri is the moral winner! 👍🇮🇹
grandissimo sei leggenda....
Esatto
Little Big Man
Pietri was the real winner
Yeah because America are fucking cheaters
he's not, because he was helped. Not his shame, as well, he didn't decided it. He's a Winner, of course, you're right. I'm proud of Him.
Purtroppo no, non il vincitore, perché fu aiutato: sebbene non l'abbia scelto lui e infatti non c'è nulla di biasimevole per Pietri. Ma hai ragione, è un VINCENTE, per quanto in quell'occasione non il vincitore (il vincitore in fondo è l'atleta che sa organizzare anche le proprie forze e i propri scatti -
@@benhub3932 Oh, just fuck off...
@@mariaa3994 Well, the Americans were paid back in 1912 by having Jim Thorpe's medals stripped.
