José María Peña
Anacleto José María Peña Salegui (9 April 1895 – 13 January 1989) was a Spanish professional football player and manager. Born in Las Arenas, he started playing football as a midfielder at Arenas Club de Getxo in 1913; teammates included his elder brother Florencio. There he won the Biscay Championship four times and the Copa del Rey in 1919, as well as finishing as a losing finalist 1917 and 1925. In 1926 he moved to Madrid and signed with Real Madrid CF, playing for the club for six years until 1932 and winning four Centre regional championships (also collecting two more runners-up medals from the 1929 and 1930 Copa finals).

400 Metres
The 400 metres, or 400-meter dash, is a sprint event in track and field competitions. It has been featured in the athletics programme at the Summer Olympics since 1896 for men and since 1964 for women. On a standard outdoor running track, it is one lap around the track. Runners start in staggered positions and race in separate lanes for the entire course. In many countries, athletes previously competed in the 440-yard dash (402.336 m)—which is a quarter of a mile (1,760 yards) and was referred to as the "quarter-mile"—instead of the 400 m (437.445 yards), though this distance is now obsolete. Like other sprint disciplines, the 400 m involves the use of starting blocks. The runners take up position in the blocks on the "ready" command, adopt a more efficient starting posture which isometrically preloads their muscles on the "set" command, and stride forwards from the blocks upon hearing the starter's pistol. The blocks allow the runners to begin more po ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
