After more than a century, one of history’s greatest athletes has his Olympic titles back. During the 1912 summer games in Stockholm, Sweden, Jim Thorpe became the first Native American Olympic champion, taking home two gold medals in track and field events. He later became a pro football and baseball player (see “ ‘The Greatest Athlete in the World’ ” in the March 29, 2021, issue of  Upfront). Until recently, however, his Olympic triumphs remained under a cloud, as the medals were later rescinded because of a technicality. In 1913, the International Olympic Committee (I.O.C.) took away Thorpe’s golds and erased his records because he’d earned a small amount of money playing minor league baseball a few years earlier. This violated the I.O.C.’s amateurism rules at that time, which didn’t allow pro athletes to compete in the Olympics. Thorpe’s supporters, however, say that discrimination against Native Americans played a role in the controversy. The I.O.C. restored his medals in 1982, nearly 30 years after his death, but didn’t list Thorpe as the rightful winner—until now. “We’re all just so happy,” his granddaughter Anita Thorpe told The Oklahoman. “It’s 110 years in the making.”
