Töölö Sports Hall
Töölö Sports Hall (, ) is a sports venue located in the Töölö district of Helsinki, Finland. It was designed by Aarne Hytönen and Risto-Veikko Luukkonen and built in 1935 as Messuhalli (Exhibition Hall). It is located near the Olympic Stadium, the Opera House, and the Bolt Arena. The hall was originally a venue for concerts, banquets and sporting events, but is now used only for training and competition in various sports. History In preparation for the 1952 Summer Olympics the building was expanded on the northern side. During the Olympics gymnastics, wrestling, boxing and weightlifting events as well as the basketball finals were held at the venue. In June 1966 the hot pitch used to fix the hall's roof caught fire. The ensuing blaze almost destroyed the whole building but was eventually extinguished with the help of 175 firemen and the army, the latter of which kept the gathered crowds out of the way. In 1975 the hall was moved to Helsinki city ownership and got it ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Germany At The 1952 Summer Olympics
Germany competed at the 1952 Summer Olympics in Helsinki, Finland. 205 competitors, 173 men and 32 women, took part in 123 events in 18 sports. Germany had not been invited to the 1948 Summer Olympics in London, Great Britain because of their role in World War II, and because their NOC restored in 1947 did not represent a recognized state yet, which was founded in 1949. Germany took part in the 1952 Winter Olympics, with the GDR declining to cooperate and form a United German team as required by the IOC, joining only in 1956 and later. On the other hand, the French-occupied Saar protectorate had to send a separate team, but could join for 1956. As a result, the team for the 1952 Summer Games was ''de facto'' representing West Germany. This event marked the first time, and as of the 2024 Summer Olympics only time, Germany failed to win a gold medal in a Summer Olympics they competed in. As of the 2024 Summer Olympics, Germany's 24 medals is the highest number of total medals won a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
