the Stockholm games he performed
the almost unprecedented feat Of run.
ming eight distance races in less than
two weeks without losing one. These
included heats in the 5000 meters,
5000 meters, team race and the cross
country championship. Kohlemainen
proved himself not only man Of iron
to even run SO many races. but also
the worlds premier distance star by
winning them all and beating in each
the worlds best.
Kohlemainen was an object Of great
interest to the Americans and the lit.
tie Finn was impressed 80 deeply with
the splendidly trained Americans that
he was not long in coming to this
country. When he arrived he could
speak hardly q word Of English, but
he has quickly mastered the American
tongue and now he has decided to
make this country his permanent
home.
