Re: Interesting Olympic Trivia
May be others, but Robert LeGendre's WR LJ (25'5 1/2, 1924 Pentathlon) is THE notable one. If there were performance tables then, he'd have won gold - but they were scored by place, I think, and he ended up 3rd. Just looked it up, and by today's scoring, he'd have won by 111 points! Heide Rosendahl also LJed farther in 1972 Pentathlon (6.83w) than her open winning mark (6.78)
