Women in Sport : The Lady Olympic Figure-skating Champion : Sonnja Hennie, of Norway. 1928.

For Sale is a Full Page taken from "The Illustrated Sporting and Dramatic News, March 3rd, 1928," called Women in Sport," showing three Photographs of "The Lady Olympic Figure-skating champion : Sonnja Hennie, of Norway."

The Ladies Figure-skating event at the Olympic winter games at St. Moritz was won by Norway, in the person of Miss Sonnja Hennie. The result of the games generally at St. Moritz gave Norway the forst place with seven events.  Sweden and the United States took two each, and France, Finland and Canada one each. Owing to the late date at which these games were fixed, thaw greatly interfered with them, and in the confusion resulting some of the decisions given by the committee were, as has so often happened at these Olympic meetings, very unsatisfactory. For instance, the striking out altogether, midway through the contest, of the 10,000 metres speed-skating event undoubtedly robbed Jaffee, the American, of success.

Condition is Very Good.
