According to the french version of Wikipedia[^], football at the olymic games before London 1908 was just a succession of exhibition games between national teams and local clubs. For instance, In 1904, the US got the silver and the bronze medals!
In 1908 was organized the first 'real' tournament as we know it now. Belgium was the first team outside England to win this tournament at the games of Antwerp in 1920

The whole world (except the Usa) calls the beautiful game FOOTBALL. When will Americans learn?
|
|
|
|
|
Not the "whole"... we call it soccer in Canada, too.
|
|
|
|
|
And I thought Canadians spoke English
|

Same in Australia. We have a different game called "football" (Australian Rules Football).

Well, The best I can find is this from Guiness World Records:
Most Olympic Gold Medals - Women
The most Olympic gold medals won by a woman is four, an achievement shared by: Fanny Blankers-Koen (1948, Netherlands), Betty Cuthbert (1956, Australia), Barbel Wockel (1976 & 1980, GDR), and Evelyn Ashford (1984, 1988, 1992, USA).

The last episode of MASH? I seem to remember that holding the record
|
|
|
|
|
But it wasn't 30 minutes... more like 2 hours.
|
|
|
|
|
There aren't any American sitcoms that last 30 minutes! They're all about 22 minutes long, after taking out adverts, station idents etc. etc.

"Last"?... well I would say they do "last" 30 minutes... that's their duration. Kind of like project management... effort vs duration.

"I Love Lucy" for a series
the birth of little Ricky on "I Love Lucy" for a single episode

It must be MASH.

It was the Giant Jackrabbit episode. Mrs Dysdale bought a kangaroo for the Beverley Hills zoo... Granny thought it was a giant jackrabbit... and the fun began.
