Hannes Kolehmainen

Juho Pietari Hannes Kolehmainen was a Finnish four-time Olympic gold medalist and a world record holder in middle and long distance running, born on 9 December 1889 and died on 11 January 1966. He was the first in a generation of great Finnish long-distance runners, often named the Flying Finns. He competed for a number of years in the United States, wearing the Winged Fist of the Irish American Athletic Club, enlisted in the 14th Regiment of the National Guard of New York, and became a United States citizen in 1921. The source lead does not list his individual races or records, so those details are left for later depth work.
