Talk:John Flanagan (hammer thrower)

Untitled
Born in 1873, but setting records at the age of 41 in 1909... that just doesn't add up. Unfortunately, both of those facts are from the same source (the IOC bio). -- Jonel | Speak 00:37, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi there.

According to the IAAF official Progression of World Best Performances and Official IAAF World Records (by Ekkehard zur Megede and Richard Hymans) and Bill Mallon's Golden Book of the Olympic Games, Flanagan was born on 9 January 1873. If your date is right, he was 40 when he won his third Olympic gold...

All the best,
