The 1904 Summer Olympics … was celebrated in St. Louis, Missouri … from August 29 until September 3, 1904, as part of an extended sports program lasting from July 1 to November 23, 1904 …
It was the first time that the Olympic Games were held outside Europe.

The St. Louis organizers treated the Games in a manner similar to the previous Olympiad, with competitions reduced to a side-show of the St. Louis World’s Fair …
The participants totalled 651 athletes – 645 men and six women representing 12 countries. …
One of the most remarkable athletes was the American gymnast George Eyser, who won six medals even though his left leg was made of wood ….
Eyser competed with a wooden prosthesis for a left leg, having lost his real leg after being run over by a train. Despite his disability, he won gold in the vault, an event which then included a jump over a long horse without aid of a springboard. …
Apparatus: Clubs, Horizontal Bar, Parallel Bars, Pommel Horse, Rings, Rope Climb, and Vault.
The AA Champ was Julius Lenhart.
“Yul’s been amazing. He won the all-around by almost four points.
He obviously was the difference between our winning and being second.
He’s an incredible kid; humble, works hard all the time, I have to slow him down to keep him healthy at times. But when it’s go time he is a fierce competitor and I’m just so impressed when he goes out there and has days like today.”
