Information

Old Man River, the Mississippi, may be good for melodies and stern-wheel paddle steamers, but alas not for sailing. The 1904 Games were so riddled with controversy - the marathon winner had used a car and there were Anthropology Days for Aboriginal peoples - that an interim Games were held in 1906 to restore flagging belief.
