Grassmarket 2,749 Posted January 28, 2022 #281 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Some great old photos here, equally interesting for fans of the Olympics & tram driving. I hadn’t heard the phrase “catch as catch can” wrestling for decades, but according to Wikipedia it is the Olympic ancestor of modern Pro Wrestling. In Britain up until about the 30s, it was a genuine old-school sport, not showbiz. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10451331/Tram-driving-wrestler-Louis-Bruce-revealed-Britains-black-Olympian.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcro 10,179 Posted November 9, 2022 Author #288 Share Posted November 9, 2022 Well, even I haven't seen anything like this before. At around 24:50, Bruce Davidson overtook another rider on cross-country (who started 4 minutes ahead). #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
