Guld Los Angeles 1932 Längdhopp

Edward "Ed" Lansing Gordon, junior, född 1 juli 1906 i Jackson i Mississippi, död 5 september 1971 i Detroit i Michigan var en amerikansk friidrottare som rönte sina största framgångar i längdhopp.

Vid OS 1928 i Amsterdam kom Edward Gordon på sjunde plats i finalen i längdhopp med resultatet 7,32. De nästkommande åren gjorde han stora förbättringar och vann det amerikanska mästerskapet både 1929 och 1932 samt det amerikanska studentmästerskapet 1929-1931. Hans personliga rekord (7,74) sattes i samband med Kansas Relays 1931.

Gordon kom till OS 1932 i Los Angeles som en av favoriterna, tillsammans med bland annat den japanske världsrekordhållaren Chuhei Nambu och landsmannen Dick Barber, som hade vunnit de amerikanska OS-uttagningarna. Gordon lyckades här bli olympisk mästare med ett hopp på 7,64, fyra centimeter före silvermedaljören, landsmannen Lambert Redd. Chuhei Nambu hoppade 7,45 i första omgången, ett resultat som han inte klarade av att förbättra, och han fick nöja sig med bronsmedaljen.

Gordon fortsatte sin aktiva längdhoppskarriär också efter OS-segern. Han representerade då Grand Street Boys Club i New York. Både 1938 och 1939 blev han amerikansk inomhusmästare i längdhopp.

Taiwanese photography is deeply rooted in the country's unique and rapidly changing history. Its early photography is often divided into two periods: Pre-Japanese from approximately 1858 to 1895, and an Era of Japanese Influence, from 1895 to 1945, the year the Japanese rule of Taiwan ended. Many photographs from the period during which Taiwan was under Japanese rule have been preserved as postcards.[1] Much of the pre-Japanese era photography was conducted by foreign missionaries (su...
