Good Morning #Canada
On this day in 1936, Great Britain was awarded a Gold Medal in #Hockey at the 1936 ##WinterOlympics. It broke the streak of 4 straight Olympic wins by Canada, losing to a team that was 50% Canadian. The back story is fascinating and worth the long read, full of tidbits like: GB forward Gordon "Don" Dailley, who fought in the WWII, was one of the first to find Hitler’s bunker, burning his body with petrol.

I identify this picture as a race for "gentlemen riders" on New Year's Day 1839 featuring a uniformed Captain Charles Berkeley. (This is a side outcome of the #S_T_Gill project.)

Looking at racism circa 1910 through the prism of Jack Johnson and the boxing heavyweight championship.
TIL that Wilt Chamberlain wasn't very good at free throws (foul shots). So when he was at the line, sometimes he'd back up three steps and then charge forward and DUNK from 15 feet away!
College basketball and the NBA changed the rule because of him: now players have to keep their feet behind the line.
