世界级的运动员吉姆索普 (Jim Thorpe) 于1888528日出生

你会很多种运动吗?如果你佩服迪昂
山德斯 (Deion Sanders) 这种棒足两栖的运动员,你一定要见一下世界级的运动员:吉姆索普。

索普是一个美国原住民,对于每一种运动都相当在行。索普于1888528日出生于印第安人领土 (现在的奥克拉荷马) 的一间一房小木屋里,他在1950年时被美国运动作家与广播人员评选为半世纪以来最伟大的美国运动员。身为一个印第安战士与运动员的曾曾孙,索普进入宾州的卡力索印第安人工业学校 (Carlisle Indian Industrial School) 就读。在1909年时,索普曾添加一支小联盟棒球队,后来他回到学校,除了重新添加学校的足球、棒球,以及篮球队外,他也为了1912年参加斯德哥尔摩奥林匹克运动会 (Stockholm Olympics) 进行训练。你知道他是怎么办到的吗?


Do you play multiple sports? If you admire great athletes like Deion Sanders that do, meet world-class athlete Jim Thorpe.

Thorpe was a Native American who excelled at every sport he ever played. Born in a one-room cabin in Indian Territory (present-day Oklahoma) on May 28, 1888, Thorpe was named the greatest football player and the greatest American athlete of the first half of the century by American sports writers and broadcasters in 1950. The great-great-grandson of an Indian warrior and athlete, Thorpe attended the Carlisle Indian Industrial School in Pennsylvania. In 1909, he left school to play baseball for two years before returning to play football, baseball, and basketball, and train for the 1912 Stockholm Olympics in track. How do you think he did?
