Athletics at the 1904 Summer Olympics – Men's all-around

The men's all-around championship event was held at Francis Field in St. Louis, Missouri on July 4, 1904. It was the only time the all-around, a forerunner to the later decathlon, was contested at the Olympics; whether the competition was part of the Olympic program has been disputed, but the International Olympic Committee currently recognizes it as an official Olympic event.[1]

gollark: Do you *know* the current solar angles?
gollark: Obviously you could shorten that to, well, "it's quite late here".
gollark: But I like numbers. I have a book on number theory open on my other screen.
gollark: If LyricLy says "hmm, it is 3AM here" that probably means something like more like "wow, my sleep schedule is currently quite far shifted from the societal expectations thereof" than "the sun is 62 degrees below the horizon".
gollark: What? You don't actually need to know where the sun is. You need to know some stuff derived from that *and* a bunch of other things; you can just use the derived data.
