Found out 2 very interesting things on my birthday in 1924 (#69) - Denmark took control of Greenland as Norway ended its claim. At the Paris Summer Olympics, Paavo Nurmi, Finland, won the 1500m & 5000m races with just 1 hour between them.

one hour rest! well, Paavo might not have rested. Paavo probably was signing jerseys and doing interviews. Hopefully Paavo had time for a drink of water and some calories.! Doing Hard Things.
