Extract

The session closed with the showing of extracts from films taken at the Olympic Games in Berlin in 1936. The focus in these extracts was on the differing abilities of various racial types, including a number of shots, many of them in slow motion, of the finals competitors in the high jump, the winning jump being of 6 ft 10½ in. Professor Kalmus was invited to make some comments on the Olympics and the athletes who compete in them.
