Armistice Day: Remembering the athletes who died in the First World War

In 1912 in Stockholm, the men's 5000m made its Olympic debut in spectacular fashion as Finland's Hannes Kolehmainen and France's Jean Bouin staged a stirring duel in which both broke the former world record by 25 seconds. Kolehmainen eventually triumphed by just 0.1 of a second. But within six years three of the top six finishers in that race, young men in their prime on that golden day, would be dead, all casualties of the Great War.
