Fact of the day

Shizo Kanakuri disappeared while running the marathon at the 1912 Olympics in Stockholm. He was listed as a missing person in Sweden for 50 years - until a journalist found him living quietly in southern Japan. Overcome with heat during the race, he had stopped at a garden party to drink orange juice, stayed for an hour, then took a train to a hotel and sailed home the next day, too ashamed to tell anyone he was leaving.

For the sake of clarity, we have posted some images of the logos that we refer to. We realise that there are ownership and replication guidelines with the logos, but we are not trying to earn money from them or imply any association, it's just for ease of understanding. They're viewable all over the internet, so we hope we do not upset anyone by showing them here.
