Finland Is Wiped Off The Olympic Map
Paris June 16 Finland was wiped off the Olympic map when the International Olympic Congress adopted the German definition of an Olympic nation, barring Finland from entry as a separate nation. Delegates from the United abstained. France and Germany clashed over the motion. England and her colonies supported Germany, except South Africa. A second proposal barred athletes who compete for one country in one series from competing for another in later games. The congress also ruled competitors must be natives or naturalized citizens of the country they represent.
