1900 Summer Olympics

continuing from my previous post re:
Gustav Ludvig Goßler (4 April 1879 – 4 April1940) German rower who competed in the 1900 Summer Olympics.
note the following from the 1900 Summer Olympics wiki page:
  • No opening or closing ceremonies were held; competitions began on May 14 and ended on October 28.
So the anniversary of the closing date was yesterday.  Note these next excerpts:
Athletes participating997 (975 men, 22 women)
  • Charlotte Cooper Sterry ( 22 September 1870 – 10 October 1966) 
So 22 women in the event and Charlotte born on the 22nd and passed away 10/10/66.  I would say that this is a sure heads up!!
