Eddie Eagan and Winter/Summer Medalists

Lauryn Williams and her pilot, Elana Meyers,  are in first place in the women’s bobsled after two runs. Williams has 2 Olympics medals, a silver in the 100 metres at the 2004 Olympics, and a gold in the 4×100 relay at London in 2012. If they win the gold medal tomorrow, Lauryn Williams will become the 2nd Olympian, and 1st female Olympian, to win gold medals at both the Winter and Summer Olympic Games.

The first was Eddie Eagan. Who was Eddie Eagan? Eagan won a gold medal in light-heavyweight boxing at the 1920 Summer Olympics and returned 12 years later to win a bobsledding gold medal in the 4-man at the Lake Placid Winter Olympics. But he was more – a lawyer, war hero, and Rhodes Scholar. Here is our bio of Eagan from our website – www.sports-reference.com/olympics:

As the only person to win a gold medal at both the Winter Games in a winter sport and the Summer Games in a summer sport, Eddie Eagan holds a unique place in Olympic history. In 1920 at Antwerp, Eagan beat Thomas Holstock (SAF), then Harold Franks (GBR), and in the final Sverre Sørsdal of Norway to win the gold medal in the light-heavyweight division. After the Olympics, Eagan returned to Yale Law School. He left there in 1922 to become a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford where he soon made his mark in British amateur boxing circles.

At the 1924 Olympics, Eagan chose not to defend his light-heavyweight title but instead weighed in as a heavyweight. He met first the Englishman, Arthur Clifton who had replaced Eagan as British ABA champion. After a grueling three rounds Clifton got the verdict but in doing so, so severely injured his hands that he could not come forward for his second round match. After competing twice in the summer Games, Eagan made his debut at the Olympic Winter Games in Lake Placid. It was here that he made Olympic history when, as a member of the 4-man bobsled team, he added a gold medal to the one he had won at the summer Games twelve years earlier.

Eagan obtained a B.A. degree from Oxford in 1928 and in 1932 was admitted to the U.S. Bar. He practiced law untiI the outbreak of World War II when he rejoined the armed forces. Colonel Eagan served with distinction throughout the period of hostilities and was awarded ribbons for combat in all three theatres of operations.

Is Eagan the only athlete to win medals at both the Summer and Winter Olympics? No. It has been done by three other athletes. The second to do it was Norwegian Jacob Tullin Thams, who won a gold medal in ski jumping at the 1924 Chamonix Olympics, and 12 years later, won a silver medal in 8-metres class sailing at Berlin.

Two women have since won Summer/Winter medals.  One was Canadian Clara Hughes who competed in 6 Olympic Games between 1996-2012 in cycling and speed skating. Hughes won 6 Olympic medals, 2 in cycling in 1996, and 4 in speed skating in 2002/2006/2010. The other was Christa Rothenburger-Luding, also a cyclist/speed skater, who competed for the German Democratic Republic (East Germany) at the Olympics in 1980-88, and for Germany in 1992. Rothenburger-Luding won 5 Olympic medals, 4 in speed skating, and 1 in track sprint cycling at the 1988 Seoul Olympics. She is the only athlete to have won Winter/Summer medals in the same year, which can no longer occur, winning gold/silver at Calgary in 1988 in addition to her track cycling silver medal.

So even if Meyers/Williams don’t win gold tomorrow in women’s bobsledding, Williams could add to the list of Summer/Winter medalists if she wins any medal. Another possibility to do this is Belgium’s Hanna Mariën, who, braking for Elfje Willemsen, is in 4th place in the event after 2 runs. Mariën won a silver medal in the 4×100 relay at the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

The Points Table – Day Eleven

Day 11 saw the Russian lead over Norway halved with the USA also clawing back ground on the top nation. Whilst the 1st 6 teams now seem to be decided, 7th to 10th are now separated by just 7 points. A new name to the table is that of New Zealand who come straight in at 26th.

The scoring table is as follows;
1st 8 points
2nd 7
3rd 6
4th 5
5th 4
6th 3
7th 2
8th 1
If countries are level on points their single best result is the tiebreak.
No 8th place in women’s short track relay as the Dutch were disqualified from the event.

National Sporting Dominance

So how does the Netherlands dominance in Sochi speed skating compare to any nations’ dominance at Summer Olympic sports? Here we will limit ourselves only to those Olympics since 1948, and we’ll also restrict ourselves to those sports with 4 or more events.

The Netherlands has currently won 70.4% of the Sochi speed skating medals. That would rank 4th in the list below, trailing only the United States in diving in 1948, 1952, and 1956. And one should remember that the Netherlands has done this in 9 events, with 3 left to be contested.

Counting all Olympics, the USA has won 100% of the medals in 5 sport-years with 4 or more events. Four of those occurred in 1904, but in 1932 the USA won all 12 diving medals.

[/table]

 

One thing to note is that China has won 50% or more medals 9 times since 1996, 8 of those in table tennis and badminton. The IOC has discussed eliminating women’s ice hockey because of the dominance of Canada and the United States, and it did eliminate women’s softball, one reason given was that the USA women were so far ahead of their competition. And it cut back on the number of swimmers that can compete in any event because of multiple USA medal sweeps back in the 1960s and 70s (note what the USA did in 1964-68 above). Will the IOC ever have similar discussions concerning table tennis and badminton because China is so far ahead of their competition?

Dutch Speed Skating Dominance

The Netherlands has now won 19 of 27 available speed skating medals. There are 3 events left (women’s 5K and both team pursuits), so there will be 36 medals given out in Sochi for speed skating. The Netherlands has won 70.4% of the medals available for speed skating to date, and if they fail to win any of the final 9 medals (dream on), they will still win 52.8% of all the speed skating medals.

How does this rank at the Winter Olympics? Well, it trails a few performances, but those were in early Games, and usually in sports with only 1 to 3 events available for a nation. Looking at the list below for all nations winning 2/3rds or more of a sports medals at one Winter Olympics, the Netherlands performance is really incomparable. Only the German Democratic Republic’s (East Germany) winning 8 of 9 luge medals in 1972 is in the class, but that is only in 3 events. Finland’s winning 8 of 12 cross-country medals in 1952 is the most comparable, but that is still in only 4 events.

Netherlands Speed Skating Medal Sweeps

Once again, the Netherlands swept the medals in the men’s 10,000 metres speed skating, giving the Dutchmen their 4th medal sweep at the Sochi Olympics. How does this rank all-time?

Well, it’s a Winter Olympic record. No other nation has ever swept more than 2 events at a single Winter Olympics. Overall, it’s a little behind the Summer Olympic record of 57, set by the United States in 1904 – that record will likely last for awhile. On the other hand, the early Olympics were very different than what we have now.

Looking at Olympics only since WW2, this is the most medals sweeps by one nation since the German Democratic Republic (East Germany) swept 6 events at the 1980 Moscow Olympics. Here is the list of all nations with 2 or more medal sweeps at a Winter Olympics, and 4 or more at the Summer Olympics.

The Points Table – Day Ten

Only 5 sets of medals decided but the results that arrived could mark a turning point in the fortunes of the top 3 nations. Russia’s lead extended to 24 points and the USA has closed to within a point of 2nd place Norway. No speed skating means no points for Holland so Canada moves up to 4th place.

Ice Hockey Shots on Goal at the Winter Olympics

With the United States’ women currently dismantling Sweden, ahead 5-0 after two periods, with 51 shots on goal, to only 6 for Sweden, one might wonder what is the most shots on goal in an Olympic ice hockey game.

Officially, this stat has only been kept since 1992 at the Winter Olympics so we don’t have full details. Women have only played ice hockey at the Olympics since 1998 so we do have full details for them. For men we will present the list since 1992 below, but also list the best records for goalie saves – we do have that information prior to 1998 for almost all Olympic ice hockey matches. Note that one of the official bests for men was in a losing effort.

Please note that in 1964 the Soviet Union defeated Germany 10-0, with German goalie Ulli Jansen recording 95 saves. So the USSR had at least 105 shots on goal in that match.

Here are the numbers:

Winter Olympic Weather Problems

With the fog postponing the men’s 15 km biathlon (twice now) and the men’s snowboarding boarder-cross, you may wonder how this has happened previously at the Winter Olympics. Hopefully, by now, it will not surprise that we have that answer.

The Olympic Winter Games are far more subject to event postponements, and occasionally even cancellations, due to weather conditions, because of the nature of the sports and events. Numerous Winter Olympic events have been affected. In fact in 1932 the bobsledding was completed after the Closing Ceremony because of weather delays. The first table below contains general weather problems that affected the Winter Olympics, or the preparations for then, while the second table below contains specific postponements, cancellations, or events significantly affected by weather.

 

[table]

Year,Site,Problems

1924,Chamonix,Rain one week before Olympics turned the ice skating oval into a lake but cold weather just before the Games restored proper ice conditions.

1928,St. Moritz,The föhn (a tradewind coming down the leeward side of a mountain) brought sudden patches of very warm weather  one of which forced cancellation of the 10K speed skating.

1932,Lake Placid,Warm weather before the Games forced the OCOG to haul in snow for the Nordic events but a severe storm on the day of the Opening Ceremony restored snow conditions.

1956,Cortina,No snow fell in Cortina for 24 days before the Games but as military personnel were hauling in snow from the mountains the town was hit with a 36 cm (14 in) snowfall just before the Games opened.

1964,Innsbruck,So little snow had fallen in Innsbruck that the Austrian Army brought in ice bricks for the sliding courses and had 60K cubic metres of snow applied to the courses. No snow fell during the Games and rain further hampered conditions.

1968,Grenoble,Warm weather softened the sliding courses so that bobsled and luge runs had to be postponed and the fourth runs of the men’s and women’s luge were eventually cancelled.

1980,Lake Placid,Little snow had fallen in the area forcing the OCOG to move the men’s cross-country events to the women’s 5 and 10 km courses. Snow flurries fell in the 3 days preceding the Games.

1984,Sarajevo,Severe snow and high winds forced the postponement of many of the Alpine skiing events.

1988,Calgary,High winds caused postponements of Alpine skiing/ bobsled/luge events. The bobsled track also softened during the final week.

1998,Nagano,Many Alpine skiing and snowboarding events were postponed by combinations of snow/fog/hail conditions. A 5.0 earthquake hit Nagano on 21 February during the first run of the men’s slalom but no damage occurred and the event was not postponed.

2002,Salt Lake,Heavy winds caused postponement of women’s downhill and the adjustment of the order of the women’s combined.

2006,Torino,Heavy snow/fog/winds caused postponement of many of the events.

2010,Vancouver,Snow had to be hauled in for the freestyle and snowboarding courses which were near the coast. Warm weather and fog caused postponement of bobsledding/Nordic combined/ski jumping and snowboarding. Heavy snow and fog caused postponements of several Alpine events at Whistler.
