"cabbagingcove:  Frederick Winters at the 1904 Summer Olympics in St. Louis From the little I can gather, Frederick Winters was a ""strongman"" in a carnival for some time, and claimed a silver medal at the 1904 Olympics for ""Men's All-Around Dumbell"" - an event intended to determine the overall weightlifting champion, and held over the course of two long days. Of course, given that there were only three competitors, it wasn't much of an ""All-Around"" anything, much less championship, but Winters performed admirably nonetheless. His top lift was 45 kg.
