Page "1900 Summer Olympics" Paragraph 16

* Alvin Kraenzlein ( United States ) won the 60 metres ( he was one of two people to ever win this event at the Olympic Games as it was withdrawn from Olympic competition after the 1904 Olympics ), the 110 metre hurdles, the 200 metre hurdles and the long jump events ; as of 2005, these four individual gold medals are still a record for a track and field athlete.

For his victory in the long jump, he was allegedly punched in the face by his rival Meyer Prinstein, who was prevented from competing in the final by officials of Syracuse University because it was scheduled for a Sunday.
