1964 Tokyo Summer Games
5140 Athletes, 94 Countries, 163 Events

The Tokyo Games were the first to be held in Asia. Hosting the Games allowed the Japanese government to display its perseverance after World War II. The final torchbearer at the Opening Ceremonies was Yoshinori Sakai, a Japanese man born in Hiroshima the day that the city was hit with an atomic bomb. In recognition of the superb organization of the Games, the IOC awarded Japan the Olympic Cup, Bonacossa Trophy, and Diploma of Merit.

Among the Leaguers in Japan was threetime men's basketball AllAmerican Bill Bradley (Princeton '65). Bradley was the first Ivy League hoopster to play in the Olympics. He captained the Americans to a 90 record. After Princeton, he would attend Oxford on a Rhodes scholarship despite being drafted by the New York Knicks. Bradley returned from England and proceeded to have a long NBA career, after which he was a threeterm U.S. senator from New Jersey and a presidential candidate in 2000.

The other Ivy star of the Tokyo Games was undoubtedly Don Schollander (Yale '68). He became the first swimmer to win four gold medals in one Olympics with victories (and world records) in the 100meter freestyle, 400meter freestyle, 4x100meter freestyle relay, and 4x200freestyle relay. He was selected as the top athlete at the Tokyo Games and was United States and World Athlete of the Year. Schollander added another gold and silver medal in 1968 (Mexico City).

Runner Wendell Mottley (Yale '64) won silver in the 400meter race and bronze in the 4x400meter relay for his native Trinidad.
