Overview
Track & field athletics was the showcase event of the 1912 Olympic Games, as it often is. The biggest stars of the competition were Hannes Kolehmainen, the Finnish distance runner who won the 5,000 and 10,000 metre runs, and the cross-country, and Jim Thorpe, the American Indian multi-performer, who won the decathlon and pentathlon.
|
| Track & field athletics was conducted within the Olympic stadium that had been especially constructed for the 1912 Olympic Games. The track was the unusual distance of just over 383 metres in length. It was constructed by Charles Perry, the British trainer, who had also helped build the tracks that were used at the 1896, 1906, and 1908 Olympic Games. |
|
The men's 10 kilometres walk event at the 1952 Summer Olympic Games took place July 24 and July 27. The final was won by Swede John Mikaelsson, who won the event four years prior in 1948. This was the last time this event took place and was replaced by the 20 kilometres walk in 1956.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
These are the results of athletics competition at the 1912 Summer Olympics. 30 events were contested, all for men only.
The athletics programme grew by 4 events since the 1908 Summer Olympics. The 5000 and 10000 metre races were introduced, as the 5 mile event was eliminated. The 400 metre hurdle event made a brief disappearance, making the 1912 Olympics the only time that event was not held since its introduction in 1900. The 4x100 and 4x400 relays replaced the medley relay while the team race was shortened from 3 miles to 3000 metres. The decathlon, which had been held in 1904 but not in 1908, returned to the programme. Steeplechasing was eliminated, while racewalking was cut from 2 events to 1 with the 10 kilometre replacing the 10 mile and the 3500 metre eliminated. The pentathlon was introduced (as well as the separate sport modern pentathlon). The 1908 experiments of the Greek-style discus and the restricted javelin were replaced with two-handed throwing, for the shot put, discus, and javelin. Cross-country events, both for the individual and the team, were introduced. The competitions were held from Saturday, July 6, 1912 to Monday, July 15, 1912.

| Jim Thorpe (USA) |
|
| After winning the 1912 Pentathlon and Decathlon, Thorpe was disqualified for having |
| infringed his amateur status. He was re-instated, posthumously, in 1983 and declared the |
| co-winner of those events along with the men who were promoted after his |
| disqualification; Ferdinand Bie (NOR) and Hugo Wieslander (SWE). Therefore, in these |
| two events two golds, one silver and one bronze medals have been counted here |
