George Brown (athlete)
George Henry Brown, Jr. (born July 25, 1931)〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=George Brown Bio, Stats and Results )〕 is an American former long jumper. He was the world's best jumper between 1951 and 1953 and the favorite at the 1952 Summer Olympics, but he fouled on all his jumps in the Olympic final.
==Career==
===Early career===
Brown attended Jordan High School in Los Angeles, California,〔 and was unknown as an athlete until his breakthrough in the spring of 1948, his junior year.〔 In addition to long jumping, he was a good sprinter.〔 On April 1, 1949 he jumped 25 ft in (7.68 m) in a dual meet against Huntington Park High School, breaking Jesse Owens's national high school record of 24 ft in (7.60 m) from 1933;〔 however, although his record was statistically valid,〔 it didn't receive official NFHS ratification as marks from dual meets were ineligible. Only one athlete of any age, Gay Bryan, exceeded Brown's jump that year,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Track and Field Statistics )〕 and ''Track & Field News'' ranked Brown ninth in the world in its annual rankings.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=World Rankings — Men’s Long Jump )〕 He was ''Track and Field News'' "High School Athlete of the Year" in 1949.〔http://trackandfieldnews.com/index.php/component/content/article/35-stats/2114-t-fn-boys-hs-aoy〕
Brown graduated from high school that year and went to first Compton Junior College and then UCLA.〔 He failed to improve his personal long jump best in 1950,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=George Brown )〕 but in 1951 he became the world's leading jumper, winning the NCAA and United States championships and topping both the world list and the ''Track & Field News'' rankings.〔〔 He went undefeated for the year, with a best jump of 26 ft 1 in (7.95 m) from Tokyo on July 18.〔
