Using his famous leap over the finish line, the USA's Charles 'Charley' Paddock wins the 100m gold medal at the Antwerp 1920 Olympic Games.
Sprinter Charles Paddock represented the United States at the Antwerp 1920 Olympics winning the silver in the men's 200m, and gold in both the 4x100m men's relay and the men's 100m sprint.
Paddock was famous not only for his impressive athletics skills, but also for crossing the finish line leaping forward. As great as that might have been for the pictures, this "finishing technique" would later be proven to slow him down, rather than save him milliseconds.

Keep in mind.. It was the beginning of the 'Roaring Twenties" and Charley stopped doing his "Leap" in real racing competitions after his first year, Knowing that jumping up in the air looked cool, but actually did slow his time down!...
... The "Paddock Leap" you see in (later) photos, he only did when requested by the sports photographer for the newspapers..
Littarly no joke: My great Grandfather participated.... (Oscar Blansaer)
0:25 That's quite the handshake...
Love you Uncle Charle ❤

"According to sports-reference Paddock's personal bests were 10.2 for 100 metres and 21.0 for 200 metres. That's definitely a complete nonsense"
We are not sure why you said: "That's definitely a complete nonsense" ???
ALL of Charley's records a highly documented and 100% correct, (No controversy at all)
.
Like for one example, when Charley won the world record at the IAAC event.(in 1923).. After Charley won, they (The time-keepers) didn't just say, "OK, looks good, go ahead and put his time in the history books"....Now way!!!... They shut down the entire event for over 2 hours and checked every inch of the track, they tested wind variables, they checked and re-checked and then re-rechecked everything again...Then they all agreed, Charley DID break the world-record, and history was made!

Not correct. 1936 olympics Jesse Owens broke record, 10.3 . That record stood many yrs.
Paddock! Paddock! RAH!RAH!RAH!
Chariots of fire brought me here
Leaping at the finish line was proven to not help, and in fact slows you down slightly. So don't do it children.
1896 Athens, 1900 Paris, 1904 St. Louis, 1908 London, 1912 Stockholm, 1916 Berlin was canceled for World War I & 1920 Antwerp.
According to sports-reference Paddock's personal bests were 10.2 for 100 metres and 21.0 for 200 metres. That's definitely a complete nonsense.
Agreed, it is nonsense. Jesse Owens , 10.3 1936 olympics. That record stood many yrs.
hi Byrton
A Pasadena athlete.
Ah, the "Paddock" leap.
Hi
@Frankel Cummings player 🤣
well, there was only hand timing then, so the real times would always be slower
What's the song?
you wonder how he'd be in today's world with the better equipment and tracks.....or better still...how todays sprinters would be using the kits and tracks of the 1920s...
Nowadays paris will be host for 2024...
hello
Now you get disqualified for it anyways.
いいね
lol. there is no afro guy in 100m.
Only 44 country represent
Did Abraham's cheat by having a professional trainer? Was the movie factual?
It was only illegal to be a professional, meaning earning money or something else for competing, but not illegal having a professional personal coach if you could afford it. Abrahams' father was a banker, he could afford it.
