Oly trivia.. another...

[bf]

From 1956-92, in which event was there ONLY ONE non-world-record-holding gold medalist.

Re: Oly trivia.. another...

Women's LJ - Tatyana Kolpakova was the only one (Vera Krepkina was a WR holder in the 100 meters, though not in LJ).

Re: Oly trivia.. another...

Kolpakova and Drechsler('92) weren't WR holders.

Re: Oly trivia.. another...

Super guess,though! Including 'former wr-holders', Women's LJ would be right!

Re: Oly trivia.. another...

(wording is so important in trivia questions... I meant CURRENT WR-holder. ..including OG mark, ratified)

Re: Oly trivia.. another...

Oh, OK, I wasn't clear on that...

Re: Oly trivia.. another...

On rereading my question, I should congratulate you on a really good CORRECT answer - coming up with Krepkina as WR-holder in another event. (.. okay, what is the other, easier, answer?)

Re: Oly trivia.. another...

I've gone through all the other events and can't find any that would fit the description... :-(

Dang! I just realized I didn't have my facts straight.. sorry. I was thinking of 400mH, but forgot 1980 (as many of us might. Volker Beck, "Olympic champion"..) Oh well. I'm gonna be more careful before posting any more trivia questions.

At least your question did have a correct answer, even if you didn't know it yourself ;-)
