Olympic Games/ summer, 1952/ Helsinki/ Official report. Report in Finnish of the "XV Olympiakisat Helsingissa 1952...." by Kertonius. This original report, which appeared even later than the 1924 report, has the same advantages: it's very complete (all the detailed rankings, all the indexes), and on eight pages, which are as illustrated as the rest, it shows us that there was still an art contest. With its 768 p, its large format, its publisher's binding with rings, it's a monument, a fitting extension of these unique Games. If you're looking for the number of Chataway, who fell in the 5000m final of the century, you've got it: 180, and he finished 6th. 30 x 22 cm
