Edward Eagan

You may not know this boy


Edward Eagan was born April 26, 1897 in Denver, died June 14, 1967 in Rye.

He studied law at Yale, Harvard and Oxford (USA).
Boxer gifted, he represents the United States to Antwerp Olympics in 1920, boxing, light heavyweight class and won the gold medal.

Where things take a turn single to date is that in the 1932 Winter Games in Lake Placid , it is new Olympic champion in bobsleigh 4!


If three other champions have since shone as the Olympic Summer and Winter, Eagan is the only man to win two gold medals!
It deserved a nod, right?
