What kind of legacy did the 1904 Summer Olympics give to St. Louis, MO?
80660
At the time the major difficulty is the fact that the Olympics were overshadowed by the 1904 World's Fair. Currently I believe that it gave St. Louisans a sense of pride. Particuarly in 2004 when St. Louis was able to particapate in the global torch relay. I know that St. Louis had a huge celebration in 2004 for the 100th anniversary of the World's Fair, the Olympics and the 200th anniversary of Lewis and Clark.

Well Kansas City has the Royals and the Chiefs. The old Negro League was the Monarchs.\n\nI guess Kansas City is a leading sports town by the names.

Jesse Owens is the obvious answer to many, but Eulace Peacock and Ralph Metcalfe were two just to name a few.\n\nIn 1936 a large number of black athetes were Olympic contenders, and in the end, 18 African Americans -- 16 men and \n2 women -- went to Berlin. This was three times the number who had competed in the 1932 Los Angeles games.\n \nThe African American athletes who competed in the 1936 Olympics in Berlin won 14 medals. The continuing social and economic discrimination black athletes faced after returning to the United States emphasized the irony of their victory in racist Germany.

Well, I don't think SLC could hold a Summer Olympics, but only because they already hosted the 2002 Winter Olympics.  I may be wrong, but isn't a city only allowed one Olympics? I think it would be unfair.

The science olympics began in 1912 in Oslo, Norway.  The Norwegians were the hometown favorites, but it was the Germans who took most of the gold medals.  Four of those medals were later revoked and awarded to the Norwegian team after it was learned that the German team was competing under the influence of the infamous "mystery liquid".  Interestingly enough, these same mystery liquids were removed from the banned substances list until the 1956 games.

Some folks aren't READING your question.\n\nThe Record for most MEDALS in one games belongs to Michael Phelps of the US who won 8 medals (6 gold, 2 bronze; 4 individual gold, 2, relay gold, one individual bronze and one relay bronze). This record is lessened a bit by the fact that Phelps swam in the preliminary heat but not the final of the 4x100 m medley relay, yet because of rule changes, is still awarded a medal.)\n\nThis tied the Record of 8 medals by Alexander Dityatin, a gymnast in the 1980 Olympics in Moscow, when he won 3 golds, 4 silver and one bronze medal. But this was a boycotted games, so the impact of that feat was also lessened\n\nMark Spitz won 7 GOLD medals at the 1972 Munich Olympic games (5 individual and 2 relay medals), all in WR time, so I'd still say that Spitz's effort was still superior if no longer the "record"

The concept of a united Commonwealth sporting event had been talked about amongst Commonwealth nations since the rebirth of the Olympic Games. A sporting competition bringing together the members of the British Empire was first proposed by Reverend Astley Cooper in 1891, when he wrote an article in The Times newspaper suggesting a "Pan-Britannic-Pan-Anglican Contest and Festival every four years as a means of increasing the goodwill and good understanding of the British Empire". \n\n\nIn 1911, the 'Festival of Empire' was held in London to celebrate the coronation of King George V. As part of the festival, an Inter-Empire Championships was held in which teams from Australia, Canada, South Africa and the United Kingdom competed in events such as boxing, wrestling, swimming and athletics. A trophy in the form of a silver cup, 2ft 6in high and weighing 340oz, the gift of Lord Lonsdale, was presented to the winning country, which was Canada. \n\nNo further development took place until 1928, when the Olympic Games were in progress in Amsterdam. The splendid feelings of friendliness between the Empire athletes at that Olympiad re-vitalised the idea for the revival of Empire meetings. \n\nThe first Commonwealth Games, known as the British Empire Games at the time, were held in Canada in 1930 in Hamilton, Ontario. 'Bobby' Robinson, who was a major player within athletics in Canada at the time, was the driving force behind the event. The first Games included 400 athletes from 11 countries. To help cover the travelling costs for the visiting nations, the City of Hamilton provided $30,000. \n\nSupport for the concept was forthcoming from England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland, with the result that strong teams were sent to Canada. Teams also came from Australia, New Zealand, Bermuda, British Guiana, Newfoundland and South Africa. The events at this meeting comprised track and field athletics, swimming, rowing, boxing and wrestling, and lawn bowls. While no points were allotted, it was fitting that Great Britain filled the premier position.

OK, it breaks down like this:\n\nIn 1904, George Poage became the first "black runner" to win an Olympic medal, a bronze in the 400 metres hurdles, but on the same day Joseph Stadler became the first "black athlete to win an Olympic medal", with a silver in the standing high jump behind the great Ray Ewry. \n\nMany sites still list Poage as being the first...

Ignore the previous mean people... I think your question is valid. I had to look it up and I have been an American for 33 years. I did  not know where it would be classified in history. Your question makes people think that is why you are getting mean answers they do not know how to answer it.\n\nAccording to the following it is a part of American Cultural History. I hope this helps...\n\nHistoric events include the sinking of the Titanic on April 15, 1912 when more than 1500 people lost their lives. The first moving assembly line began in 1914 and in 1915, the one millionth Model T ($345) rolled off the assembly line.  Other news events included the initiation of the The National Park Service and Prohibition (1919).   Jim Thorpe, an American Indian,  won gold medals at the Olympics (although his medals were later taken away because he had played baseball for a salary earlier in his career), the first parachute jump was made, and the Girl Scouts of America were formed.   Altogether, a decade to remember.
