In the 1920s, he became the first person to appear in an Olympic sprint final in three different Olympic Games. After his athletic career, he also gained fame as a writer.[2]Born to Susan and Zachary Scholz in Buchanan, Michigan, Jackson Scholz, nicknamed “The New York Thunderbolt”, competed for the University of Missouri in Columbia, Missouri (where he joined Kappa Alpha Order), and later the New York Athletic Club. While quite successful in the Olympics, he won only a single national title, the 220 yards AAU title in 1925.       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4His first Olympic appearance was in Antwerp in 1920, where he won a gold medal with the American 4 \u00d7 100 m relay team. Individually he placed fourth in the 100 m. Later that year, Scholz equaled the World Record in the 100 m, running 10.6 s in Stockholm.Four years later, he was one of the favorites for the sprint titles in the 100 and 200 m. He lived up to the expectations in the 200 m, but was beaten to the gold in the 100 m by Britain’s Harold Abrahams. The 100 m race, and the 400 m race won by Eric Liddell, are depicted in the movie Chariots of Fire, which was released in 1981 \u2013 five years before Scholz’s death at the age of 89. He was played in the film by actor Brad Davis.  Scholz inspecting the track before his 200 m Olympic race in 1928Scholz made a third Olympic appearance in 1928. As the reigning champion, he placed fourth in the 200 m.During the 1984 Summer Olympic Games, an American Express credit card commercial[3] (“Don’t leave home without it”) included Ben Cross and the 87-year-old Scholz. When Cross\u2014who portrayed Abrahams in the film Chariots of Fire\u2014said something about beating Scholz, the latter remarked, “You didn’t beat me!” with mock indignation. Proving he was “still pretty fast,” Scholz beat Cross to the draw in picking up the tab with his credit card.References[edit]External links[edit]1912: \u00a0David Jacobs, Henry Macintosh, Victor d’Arcy, Willie Applegarth\u00a0(GBR)1920: \u00a0Charley Paddock, Jackson Scholz, Loren Murchison, Morris Kirksey\u00a0(USA)1924: \u00a0Loren Murchison, Louis Clarke, Frank Hussey, Al LeConey\u00a0(USA)1928: \u00a0Frank Wykoff, James Quinn, Charley Borah, Henry Russell\u00a0(USA)1932: \u00a0Bob Kiesel, Emmett Toppino, Hector Dyer, Frank Wykoff\u00a0(USA)1936: \u00a0Jesse Owens, Ralph Metcalfe, Foy Draper, Frank Wykoff\u00a0(USA)1948: \u00a0Barney Ewell, Lorenzo Wright, Harrison Dillard, Mel Patton\u00a0(USA)1952: \u00a0Dean Smith, Harrison Dillard, Lindy Remigino, Andy Stanfield\u00a0(USA)1956: \u00a0Ira Murchison, Leamon King, Thane Baker, Bobby Morrow\u00a0(USA)1960: \u00a0Bernd Cullmann, Armin Hary, Walter Mahlendorf, Martin Lauer\u00a0(EUA)1964: \u00a0Paul Drayton, Gerry Ashworth, Richard Stebbins, Bob Hayes\u00a0(USA)1968: \u00a0Charles Greene, Mel Pender, Ronnie Ray Smith, Jim Hines\u00a0(USA)1972: \u00a0Larry Black, Robert Taylor, Gerald Tinker, Eddie Hart\u00a0(USA)1976: \u00a0Harvey Glance, Lam Jones, Millard Hampton, Steve Riddick\u00a0(USA)1980: \u00a0Vladimir Muravyov, Nikolay Sidorov, Aleksandr Aksinin, Andrey Prokofyev\u00a0(URS)1984: \u00a0Sam Graddy, Ron Brown, Calvin Smith, Carl Lewis\u00a0(USA)1988: \u00a0Viktor Bryzhin, Vladimir Krylov, Vladimir Muravyov, Vitaliy Savin\u00a0(URS)1992: \u00a0Michael Marsh, Leroy Burrell, Dennis Mitchell, Carl Lewis, James Jett\u00a0(USA)1996: \u00a0Robert Esmie, Glenroy Gilbert, Bruny Surin, Donovan Bailey, Carlton Chambers\u00a0(CAN)2000: \u00a0Jon Drummond, Bernard Williams, Brian Lewis, Maurice Greene, Tim Montgomery, Kenny Brokenburr\u00a0(USA)2004: \u00a0Jason Gardener, Darren Campbell, Marlon Devonish, Mark Lewis-Francis\u00a0(GBR)2008: \u00a0Keston Bledman, Marc Burns, Emmanuel Callender, Richard Thompson, Aaron Armstrong\u00a0(TTO)2012: \u00a0Nesta Carter, Michael Frater, Yohan Blake, Usain Bolt, Bailey-Cole\u00a0(JAM)2016: \u00a0Asafa Powell, Yohan Blake, Nickel Ashmeade, Usain Bolt, Jevaughn Minzie, Kemar Bailey-Cole\u00a0(JAM)2020: \u00a0Lorenzo Patta, Marcell Jacobs, Fausto Desalu, Filippo Tortu\u00a0(ITA)     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4"},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki41\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Enzyklop\u00e4die"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki41\/jackson-scholz-wikipedia\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Jackson Scholz – Wikipedia"}}]}]
