五届奥运 五枚奖牌 Five Olympics: Five Medals

英语自学网

British rower Jack Beresford's five Olympics medals is an Olympic record, only recently equalled among men by Britain's Steve Redgrave. Beresford won gold medals in the single sculls (1924), coxless fours (1932) and double sculls (1936), and added silver in the single sculls (1920) and the eights (1928).
    His remarkable career spanned five Olympic Games and it was almost certainly only the cancellation of the 1940 Games that prevented a sixth Olympic appearance. He was awarded the Olympic Diploma of Merit in 1949.
    At Henley, he won the Diamond Sculls four times (1920 and 1924-1926), the Nickalls Challenge Cup in 1928 and 1929 (coxless pairs with Gordon Killick), and the Double Sculls Challenge Cup in 1939 with Dick Southwood. He also won the Wingfield Sculls for seven consecutive years from 1920.
    Beresford rowed for the Thames, Leander, and Kingston Clubs. He later managed the British rowing team at the 1952 Olympics. His father, Julius Beresford (né Wisniewski), won an Olympic silver medal in the eights in 1912.
         杰克-贝雷斯福德的五枚奥运会奖牌创下了英国运动员的奥运会得奖纪录，直到最近才由著名运动员史蒂夫-格瑞夫平他的这项纪录。贝雷斯福德的三枚奥运金牌包括在1924年法国巴黎夏季奥运会获得的男子单人双桨的金牌，1932年美国洛杉矶夏季奥运会的四人无舵手金牌和1936年德国柏林夏季奥运会的双人双桨项目的金牌，他另外还获得两枚奥运会银牌：1920比利时安特卫普夏季奥运会单人双桨银牌和1928年荷兰阿姆斯特丹夏季奥运会上获得的八人艇项目的银牌。在他的运动生涯中，他创纪录的参加了五届奥运会的比赛，如果不是因为第二次世界大战的影响，1940年奥运会被迫取消，贝雷斯福德的奥运会历史还将延续。在1949年，他获得奥林匹克杰出证书（Olympic Diploma of Merit）。1952年后，他成为英国赛艇队教练。他的父亲也是一位奥运会运动员，朱利叶斯-贝雷斯福德曾经在1912年奥林匹克运动会上在划艇项目上为英国赢得一枚银牌。
