Gladys Anne Lunn ( 1 June 1908 - 3 January 1988 ) was an English track and field athlete from Birmingham , England who competed in the 1934 British Empire Games in the 1938 British Empire Games . Gladys was a member of Birchfield Harriers athletics club . At the 1934 Empire Games she won the gold medal in the 880 yards event as well as in the javelin throw competition , an unorthodox combination . Four years later she won the bronze medal in the javelin throw event at the 1938 Empire Games . She also participated in the 220 yards contest but did not start in her semi-final heat . She was the inaugural winner of the ( unofficial ) ladies race at the International Cross Country Championships . She was also twice a medallist in the 800 metres at the Women 's World Games , taking gold in 1930 before returning for a bronze medal in 1934 . Nationally , she was a ten-time champion at the Women 's Amateur Athletic Association Championships . This included three straight 880-yard titles from 1930 to 1932 , two 800 m titles , the first ever mile run in 1936 and the following year in 1937 , a 1937 javelin title and two cross country titles . Lunn had two world records ratified by the International Women 's Sports Federation ( FSFI ) : 3:04.4 minutes for the 1000 m in 1931 and 3:00.6 minutes over the same distance in 1934 . Four of her performances over the mile were later recognised as world best times .
England is a country that is part of the United Kingdom . It shares land borders with Wales to the west and Scotland to the north . The Irish Sea lies west of England and the Celtic Sea to the southwest . England is separated from continental Europe by the North Sea to the east and the English Channel to the south . The country covers five-eighths of the island of Great Britain , which lies in the North Atlantic , and includes over 100 smaller islands , such as the Isles of Scilly and the Isle of Wight . It is the largest country of British Isles . The area now called England was first inhabited by modern humans during the Upper Palaeolithic period , but takes its name from the Angles , a Germanic tribe deriving its name from the Anglia peninsula , who settled during the 5th and 6th centuries . England became a unified state in the 10th century , and since the Age of Discovery , which began during the 15th century , has had a significant cultural and legal impact on the wider world . The English language , the Anglican Church , and English law - the basis for the common law legal systems of many other countries around the world - developed in England , and the country 's parliamentary system of government has been widely adopted by other nations . The Industrial Revolution began in 18th-century England , transforming its society into the world 's first industrialised nation . England 's terrain is chiefly low hills and plains , especially in central and southern England . However , there is upland and mountainous terrain in the north ( for example , the Lake District and Pennines ) and in the west ( for example , Dartmoor and the Shropshire Hills ) .
France ( French : [ fʁɑ̃s ] ( listen ) ) , officially the French Republic ( French : République française , pronounced [ ʁepyblik fʁɑ̃sɛːz ] ( listen ) ) , is a country whose territory consists of metropolitan France in Western Europe and several overseas regions and territories . [ XIII ] The metropolitan area of France extends from the Mediterranean Sea to the English Channel and the North Sea , and from the Rhine to the Atlantic Ocean . It is bordered by Belgium , Luxembourg and Germany to the northeast , Switzerland and Italy to the east , and Andorra and Spain to the south . The overseas territories include French Guiana in South America and several islands in the Atlantic , Pacific and Indian oceans . The country 's 18 integral regions ( five of which are situated overseas ) span a combined area of 643,801 square kilometres ( 248,573 sq mi ) and a total population of 67.02 million ( as of July 2019 [ update ] ) . France is a unitary semi-presidential republic with its capital in Paris , the country 's largest city and main cultural and commercial centre . Other major urban areas include Lyon , Marseille , Toulouse , Bordeaux , Lille and Nice . France , including its overseas territories , has the most number of time zones of any country , with a total of 12 . During the Iron Age , what is now metropolitan France was inhabited by the Gauls , a Celtic people . Rome annexed the area in 51 BC , holding it until the arrival of Germanic Franks in 476 , who formed the Kingdom of Francia . The Treaty of Verdun of 843 partitioned Francia into East Francia , Middle Francia and West Francia . West Francia , which became the Kingdom of France in 987 , emerged as a major European power in the Late Middle Ages , following its victory in the Hundred Years ' War ( 1337-1453 ) .
Ruth Lillian Christmas ( 12 November 1904 - 2 April 2001 ) was a British middle-distance runner . Christmas and her sister Esther followed their father into athletics . Ruth began competing in Cambridge in the 1920s , then moved to London and joined the London Olympiades women 's athletics club . She took second place in the half-mile at the British Championships in 1929 , and began competing internationally , recording impressive results . In the mile , she recorded a possible world record time of 5:27.5 in 1932 . In her favoured distance of 880-yards or 800-metres , Christmas had a longstanding rivalry with Gladys Lunn , and finally beat her in the 1933 British Championships . She gained French nationality through marriage , becoming Ruth Christmas-Paysant , and began competing for her adopted homeland , winning the 1935 French Championships 800-metre title , and the cross-country equivalent in 1936 . In 1939 , she and her husband returned to Britain to avoid the oncoming World War II , and she retired from athletics .
Belgium , [ A ] officially the Kingdom of Belgium , is a country in Western Europe . It is bordered by the Netherlands to the north , Germany to the east , Luxembourg to the southeast , France to the southwest , and the North Sea to the northwest . It covers an area of 30,689 km2 ( 11,849 sq mi ) and has a population of more than 11.5 million , making it the 22nd most densely populated country in the world and the 6th most densely populated country in Europe , with a density of 376 per square kilometre ( 970/sq mi ) . The capital and largest city is Brussels ; other major cities are Antwerp , Ghent , Charleroi and Liège . The sovereign state is a federal constitutional monarchy with a parliamentary system . Its institutional organization is complex and is structured on both regional and linguistic grounds . It is divided into three highly autonomous regions : the Flemish Region in the north , Wallonia in the south , and the Brussels-Capital Region . Brussels is the smallest and most densely populated region , as well as the richest region in terms of GDP per capita . Belgium is home to two main linguistic groups or communities : the Dutch-speaking Flemish Community , which constitutes about 60 percent of the population , and the French-speaking Community , which comprises about 40 percent of all Belgians . A small German-speaking Community , numbering around one percent , exists in the East Cantons . The Brussels-Capital Region is officially bilingual ( French and Dutch ) , although French is the dominant language . Belgium 's linguistic diversity and related political conflicts are reflected in its political history and complex system of governance , made up of six different governments .
