历届奥运会回顾: 1952赫尔辛基奥运会

The 1952 Olympic Games in Helsinki started in spectacular fashion with Pavvo Nurmi, then aged 55, entering the stadium with the Olympic flame and lighting the cauldron on the ground. Then, young football players carried the torch up to the top of the stadium tower, where another Olympic cauldron was lit by 62-year-old Hannes K?lehmainen.
It seemed appropriate that the most impressive achievements in Helsinki should be those of another long-distance runner, Emil Zatopek of Czechoslovakia, who became the only person in Olympic history to win the 5,000, 10,000 and marathon at the same Olympics. The Soviet Union entered the Olympics for the first time. Although their athletes were housed in a separate "village", warnings that Cold War rivalries would lead to clashes proved unfounded. Particularly impressive were the Soviet women gymnasts who won the team competition easily, beginning a streak that would continue for forty years until the Soviet Union broke up into separate republics. One of the first women allowed to compete against men in the equestrian dressage was Lis Hartel of Denmark.
Despite being paralyzed below the knees after an attack of polio, Hartel, who had to be helped on and off her horse, won a silver medal. Lars Hall, a carpenter from Sweden, became the first nonmilitary winner of the modern pentathlon. Back in 1924, Bill Havens had been chosen to represent the United States in coxed eights rowing, but declined in order to stay home with his wife, who was expecting their first child. Twenty-eight years later, that child, Frank Havens, won a gold medal in the Canadian singles 10,000m canoeing event.
在赫尔辛基举行的1952年奥林匹克运动会以一种壮观的方式开始，55岁的努尔米高举着火炬进入体育场并点燃了场地内的火炬台。然后另一位年轻的足球运动员拿着火炬到了体育场内一个塔楼的顶端，62岁的科勒迈宁接过火炬点燃了另一个火炬台。
在赫尔辛基运动会上给人留下最深刻印象的就应该是长跑选手捷克斯洛伐克的扎托佩克了，他成为了奥运会历史上在同一届比赛中在5000米、10000米和马拉松三个项目都胜出的人。苏联首次参加奥运会。尽管他们的选手都居住在与其他选手分隔开的“奥运村”里，因为冷战敌对双方可能会导致冲突发生。其中给人留下深刻印象的是苏联女子体操选手们，她们轻松的赢得了团体赛冠军，从此开始苏联在这个项目上占统治地位长达40年之久，直到国家分裂。
