Archery At The 1904 Summer Olympics
At the 1904 Summer Olympics in St. Louis, six archery events were contested, of which three were men's and three were women's competitions. 23 men and 6 women constituted the field. As was common in early Olympic archery, the events held in 1904 had little resemblance to the previous edition's events. The events were essentially United States national championships: formally named the 26th Grand Annual Target Meeting of the National Archery Association and, while open to international entrants, having no foreign competitors (with some archers from the Philippines entering but not competing). Team archery was introduced at these Games, as was women's archery. The medalists were the same for both men's individual events ( George Bryant taking gold, Robert Williams silver, and William Thompson bronze in both) and both women's individual events ( Matilda Howell gold, Emma Cooke silver, Eliza Pollock bronze). Howell finished with three golds as she was a member of the only women's ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Francis Field (Missouri)
Francis Olympic Field is a stadium at Washington University in St. Louis that was used as the main venue for the 1904 Summer Olympics. It is currently used by the university's track and field, cross country, football, and soccer teams. It is located in St. Louis County, Missouri on the far western edge of the university's Danforth Campus. Built in time for the Louisiana Purchase Exposition (1904 St. Louis World's Fair), the stadium once had a 19,000-person seating capacity, but stadium renovations in 1984 reduced the capacity to 3,300 people. It is one of the oldest sports venues west of the Mississippi River that is still in use. Francis Olympic Field now uses artificial turf that can be configured for both soccer and football. Known at its opening as World's Fair Stadium and then as Washington University Stadium or simply "the Stadium", the venue was renamed as Francis Field in October 1907 for David R. Francis, a former Missouri governor and president of the Louisiana Purchas ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Archery At The 1904 Summer Olympics – Women's Team Round
The women's team round event was part of the archery programme at the 1904 Summer Olympics. The competition took place on 21 September 1904 at Francis Field.
