Although he competed in both tennis tournaments, he never won a single match.
He lived from 1895 to 1899 in London, so his trip to Athina did not take
as long as could be expected for an Australian. He should be classed as an
Australian though, since that is where he grew up and lived out his life.
That is important, as without him, Australia cannot claim to have been
present at every summer olympics.

The father of modern hammer throwing, Flanagan raised the world record in
sixteen installments from 44.47m in Ireland in 1895(°) to 56.20m in
1909 after emigrating to the United States. His best Olympic record (1908)
was 51.92m. He was fourth in the discus at St.Louis and second in throwing
the 56-lb weight.
(*) He also helped the USA to second or third place in the tug-of-war in
1900, but this medal is disputed, as it appears that spectators helped the
American team. Apparently the Americans only competed hors-concours against
the winners, since they could not free themselves from the Discus competition,
which was conducted at the same time. He took fifth place in the same event
in 1908.
(°) Hammer throwing was not yet an Olympic event in 1896, so he was
prevented from a possible fourth gold medal.
