Answers
Answer:
Cricket has been a sport at the modern Summer Olympic Games. The only time it has been played was at the 1900 Summer Olympics with only a men's contest when Great Britain won the gold medal, but the possibility of it being contested at the Olympics again has recently resurfaced.
The 1900 Paris Olympics featured a men's and a women's event. In 1904 in St. Louis, Missouri, a team golfing event supplanted the women's event. After a 112-year hiatus, the sport returned to the Games for the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.
Eva Klobukowska
-- The first athlete to fail a sex test was Polish sprinter Eva Klobukowska in 1967, who won a 4x100 relay gold at the 1964 Tokyo Olympics. She was found to have a rare condition which gave her no advantage over other athletes.
In 1968 the International Olympic Committee (IOC) conducted the first official drug tests on athletes competing in the Olympic Games.
At the 1936 Berlin Olympics, African American track star Jesse Owens wins his fourth gold medal of the Games in the 4×100-meter relay. His relay team set a new world record of 39.8 seconds, which held for 20 years. In their strong showing in track-and-field events at the XIth Olympiad, Jesse Owens and other African American athletes struck a propaganda blow against Nazi leader Adolf Hitler, who planned to use the Berlin Games as a showcase of supposed Aryan superiority.
