歷屆奧運(yùn)會(huì)回顧:1948年倫敦奧運(yùn)會(huì)
1908年倫敦曾主辦第四屆奧運(yùn)會(huì),40年后,世界選手又再次在這里聚會(huì)。這是第二次世界大戰(zhàn)中斷了12年后舉行的首屆運(yùn)動(dòng)會(huì),是奧林匹克運(yùn)動(dòng)的新起點(diǎn)。人們?cè)陂L期的戰(zhàn)爭中飽嘗了家園被毀、親人死去的痛苦,但在這里又領(lǐng)略了和平和友誼的幸福。第二次世界大戰(zhàn)后,不少國家擺脫了殖民統(tǒng)治。它們雖來不及派訓(xùn)練有素的選手參賽,但紛紛應(yīng)邀參加了這次盛會(huì)。KEY FACTS

LONDON 1948 Games of the XIV Olympiad
The 1948 London Games were the first to be shown on home television, although very few people in Great Britain actually owned sets. A women's canoeing event was held for the first time - and won by Karen Hoff of Denmark.
17-year-old American Bob Mathias won the decathlon only four months after taking up the sport. He is the youngest athlete in Olympic history to win a men's athletics event. Two athletes who were Olympic champions in 1936 managed to defend their titles twelve years later. They were Ilona Elek of Hungary in women's foil fencing and Jan Brzak of Czechoslovakia in the canoeing Canadian pairs 1,000m.
Fanny Blankers-Koen of the Netherlands was the world record holder in six events, but, according to the rules of the day, was only allowed to enter four. She won all four: the 100m dash, the 80m hurdles, the 200m and the 4x100m relay. Concert pianist Micheline Ostermeyer of France won both the shot put and the discus throw. Karoly Takacs was a member of the Hungarian world champion pistol shooting team in 1938 when a grenade shattered his right hand - his pistol hand. Takacs taught himself to shoot with his left hand and, ten years later, he won an Olympic gold medal in the rapid-fire pistol event.
