Abstract

The article analyzes the golden age of sports. Sports is booming in various countries and nations have been training their athletes for the 1956 Olympic Games in Melbourne, Victoria. It is believed that records and statistics cannot contain the story of sport's new golden age but its spirit lies in overcoming class and racial distinctions such as the case of three boys in 1910, golfer Francis Ouimet, baseball player George Herman Ruth, and boxer William Harrison Dempsey, who won in their chosen sports.
