The event came to be known as the Austerity Games, because of the economic climate and post-war rationing. A record 59 nations were represented by 4,104 athletes, in 19 sport disciplines. Germany and Japan were refused permission to participate while the USSR chose not to send any athletes. The United States team won the most total medals, 84, and the most gold medals, 38. The host nation won 23 medals, 3 of them gold. Star performers at the Games, whose autographs are all included in this visitors' book, were Dutch sprinter Fanny Blankers-Koen, dubbed 'The Flying Housewife', who won 4 gold medals in athletics; American Bob Mathias, winner of the decathlon and youngest male ever to win an Olympic gold medal at the age of 17; and Veikko Huhtanen of Finland who had a medal haul of 5 including 3 golds. Not every medal winner is in this book, notable absentees include the winners of the 3 British gold medals for rowing and sailing, these events taking place at Henley and Torbay. There are 223 medal-winner autographs from 26 countries with very little duplication. Multiple medal winners were largely only asked to sign once with their medal wins noted in the right column for individual and team events. It appears that 13 non-medal winning competitors and the USA swimming manager have also signed. The full list of medal winner autographs is available from the auction office. (1)
